This is nia.

This is what nia does.

nia is one of the charities I’ll be raising money for when I eventually get signed up for a wheelchair half marathon (I’ll hopefully have some news about that soon).

I can’t do better than paste in nia’s aims from its site:

nia has three main aims:

• To provide services for women, girls and children who have experienced men’s violence.
• To contribute to ending male violence against women and girls.
• To inform and influence policy and public awareness.

We achieve our aims by:

• Providing high quality services for women, children and young people who have experienced or are at risk of male violence.
• Increasing awareness of male violence and developing services, contributing to research, debate and policy initiatives to prevent it.
• Challenging inequality and discrimination and celebrating diversity.
• Empowering and supporting women and children.
• Increasing and developing the effectiveness of resources through partnership, collaboration and multi-agency action.

Please support nia if you can. Or you could buy a t shirt from The Famous Artist Birdy Rose. Birdy donates £1 of every sale to nia.
