As a supporter, we would like to thank you for your ongoing support and your commitment to NIDAS. Your support helps us to ensure families affected by domestic abuse to stay safe and go on to build happy healthy relationships. We feel it is important to keep you updated on what we do and to inform you about our upcoming fundraising events.
Want to take on a challenge and help raise funds for NIDAS?
This September, we hope to host a fire walk! If you choose, this is an opportunity for you to raise funds for NIDAS, but also expand your own mind. So you can discover just how much you are truly capable of.
Are you curious and want to try it out? Fill out the form below to express your interest, and we will contact you with further information as soon as we get it!
Participants will undergo training of around one hour. When the fire has burned to red-hot embers it is raked level and prepared for the walk. Participants go to the fire, remove their footwear and one by one are invited to walk the coals.
Want to know more? You can download our information leaflet and event poster using the buttons below.
Why not show your support by putting up our event poster in your office or workplace?
You may also distribute our information leaflet to your team to see who's up for the challenge! You could even sign up as a group to do it as a team-building exercise.
If you know someone who is an adrenaline junkie and would be interested in taking on this challenge, please let them know and send them the details as soon as possible!
Use your social media platforms to promote our event.

Over the last few months our art therapist and teen outreach worker have being working with a group of students from Quarrydale Academy to create a piece of artwork that signifies empowerment and addresses the issue of violence against women as part of the #SaferStreets project.
Check out what the group managed to come up with during their graffiti workshops:
This month we also supported and took part in #NSAW2022. This year's theme was #BridgingTheGap, highlighting the vital role that Independent Stalking Advocates play in linking the victim and the criminal justice system.
