Staff members from Charnwood Borough Council have donated around 50 gift parcels to Living without Abuse. The charity supports people experiencing domestic abuse across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Nadia Ansari, chair of the Council’s staff forum, said: “Christmas is the season of giving so our staff forum wanted to support a local charity and create gift parcels for the women and families being supported by Living without Abuse over the festive period.

“We delivered the parcels to the charity which was really overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity and so grateful.”
