LOCAL women’s charity Trevi is calling all courageous, strong women to take part in the 10k Warrior Women Walk at the Burrator Reservoir in Yelverton, (PL20 6PE) on October 16, at 10am.

This year, Trevi launches its very first Warrior Women Walk, which aims to connect and help support women affected by domestic abuse and violence.

Join them on Sunday, October 16 as they urge local women to come together and step out in support.

The Warrior Women Walk is an opportunity to connect with friends and other amazing women.

It is hoped that the 10k challenge will bring together women who have been affected by trauma and abuse, whether personally or a loved one; women who want to see a future without violence against women and girls and women looking to have fun with their girlfriends and raise money for the charity.

The Warrior Women route takes in some of Devon’s most stunning scenery. The 10k will walk you around the beautiful Burrator reservoir and rugged moorland of Sheepstor.

The charity has planned fun activities to challenge you around the route to bring out the female warrior in you!

Carrie Tecza, Engagement Officer, said: “We are so excited about launching the Warrior Women Walk; this is a fantastic opportunity for women to come together to recognise, remember, celebrate and support the work we do with women affected by domestic abuse and violence in the city and beyond.

“Sadly, domestic abuse, addiction and mental ill health are rising. 

“Every six seconds in Britain, another woman is assaulted in her own home and in the year ending March 2021, there were nearly 850,000 recorded incidents of domestic abuse related crime in the UK.

“We’re transforming despair into hope by providing vital trauma-informed services for women and children. 

“This simply would not be possible without the support from our local caring and compassionate community.”
