Firewalk for Black Country Women's Aid 2024

Exciting News! We're back with a BANG for our third annual firewalk fundraiser! Last year's event was a blazing success, and we're ready to turn up the heat once again!

Join us on 20th October 2024 as we walk on hot coals to support victims of abuse and exploitation. Together, we made a difference last year, and this time, we're aiming even higher!

Register here to take part in Black Country Women's Aid's firewalk challenge. We have the super early-bird registration fee of £10.00, for a limited time only, and number of tickets are limited! The early-bird registration fee of £20.00. Standard registration fee of £30.00 also includes a free raffle ticket and firewalk certificate.

We ask you to have a target sponsorship of £100 and we give you the toolkit to make this easy!

BCWA strives to give families leaving refuge a helping hand in turning an empty house into a home. Monies raised will buy basic but essential items we all take for granted such as curtains, bedding, kettle, toaster, cutlery, microwave, towels, fridge, crockery, pots and pans etc.

BCWA has been supporting victims of all types of abuse for over 30 years. Last year over 13,000 adults and children were referred to us for help to escape living in fear, overcome trauma and rebuild their lives.

We receive over 9 calls an hour and provide many other vital services. We listen, we care, we support and we are so glad you can too!

Your fundraising supports us to make safe spaces for adults and children fleeing abuse to start new lives free from fear. This year, we are fundraising to:

Make a space to heal by building new refuge for people with physical disabilities escaping domestic abuse and modern slavery

The difference we can make together

Last year’s Firewalk made £14,000 and with your help we can raise even more.

• £20,000 could pay for all the doors and windows in our new refuge bungalows

• £16,000 could pay for a bathroom in each bungalow with special adaptations for people with reduced mobility and other disabilities

• £15,000 could pay for moving on essentials for around 30 families leaving refuge. Families can choose what they need from bunk beds, bed linen, sofa, table, washing machine chairs, wallpaper, paint etc.
