On Sunday 7th September 2025 at 3pm, the government will send a loud emergency alert to every mobile phone in the UK. Itโs a test designed to warn people of danger but for women experiencing domestic abuse, it could do the opposite.
Many women living with an abuser keep a hidden second phone โ a lifeline to safety, support and escape.
If that phone makes a sound, it could be discovered. And the consequences could be devastating.
Please help Refuge protect survivors. By sharing this video , you could help protect someone who desperately needs that second phone to stay hidden. Your action could be the difference between danger and safety.

Since Iโm not sure how much actual karate you learn flinging snowballs at each other, ๐ค๐ your Tโwas The Class Before Christmas fees help a cause.
This year, each class has bought a Refuge gift for women and their children who are fleeing domestic violence and abuse.
