“It was fascinating to visit Advance’s Hammersmith Women’s Centre to hear about their vital work supporting domestic abuse survivors and women in the criminal justice system.”
“As a specialist provider of community rehabilitative services for women, Advance helps combat the impact of poverty, inequality and trauma some women face and recognises the complexity of their situations. Advance’s focus on early intervention changes lives and creates brighter futures. Things that I have always cared passionately about reflected in my social justice campaigning trying to turn the dial on social inclusion.”
Anita Hamilton, Chair of Trustees at Advance, said:
“Kevin McGrath, Representative Deputy Lieutenant for Hammersmith & Fulham, joined us at Advance for a briefing about our work and how we succeed in improving the outcomes of women and girls, important work that started nearly 30 years ago in Hammersmith & Fulham. We are grateful for his interest and for discussing with detailed knowledge the issues faced by those affected by domestic abuse and in the criminal justice system.”
