This year we are pleased to share that our school charity is Swindon Domestic Abuse Support
Service (SDASS). This is an amazing organisation, which has been running every day since it was
set up in 1974, to help a wide range of people who have experienced acts of domestic abuse. I had
the pleasure of meeting with the charity’s CEO, Joanna Eamey and the Chair of Trustees, Nicky
Alberry. They generously gave their time to share some insight in to how the charity runs and
explain the sort of help that they provide.
As both a school and as a year group, we feel very strongly about the empowerment of
women and the importance of raising awareness of significant issues in the safety of their everyday
lives. Therefore, we decided to support SDASS this year, as they display key messages that we
believe deserve full promotion, as well as raising awareness and providing support for victims of
domestic abuse.
