Raising the voices of survivors

[p][b]Strictly singer Hayley Sanderson has teamed up with survivors of domestic abuse to create a charity cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Stronger’.[/b][/p][p]It is a song recorded by survivors, on their phones, in their homes during Covid-19 isolation. The single will raise money for London based Bede House’s domestic abuse team and national domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid. [/p][p]All proceeds will be [b]DOUBLED[/b] by an external funder up to £50,000 and go exclusively towards supporting survivors of domestic abuse. [/p][p][b][Click 'Read More' to listen to Stronger and view the video below][/b][/p][p][b]--[/b][/p][p]This was a project that came together out of love. A burning desire to support people impacted by domestic abuse. To build confidence and hopefully raise funds.[/p][p]Their children are survivors too, and the song includes an original rap from local artist and Bede youth worker Yaz, who shares the impact on child survivors of domestic abuse.[/p][p][b]In the UK, the number of domestic homicides have more than doubled during lockdown.[/b][/p][p]These women and children, and the team that coached them, are using their voice to send a powerful message to survivors still trapped with abuse: [b]you are not alone and there is support out there.[/b] [/p][p]You can help #SupportSurvivors during this crisis.
