HELPING HAND: Lisa Booth from Victory Outreach, Vikki Macdonald, Curves Cwmbran deputy manager, Trudy Makepeace of Victory Outreach and Tricia King manager of Curves in Cwmbran
Members of Curves ladies fitness, Cwmbran are helping women, many of whom have been abused, had addictions or been made homeless.
They have been collecting items to donate to Victory Outreach UK, which has a home in Abertillery.
Curves instructor Trisha King said: “We are urging new members to collect things like soap and sponges. Many women who flee to a refuge have nothing and we want to do our bit.”
The club currently has 100 members, with these getting involved, plus new women who join the club.
The Victory Outreach UK homes provide a family atmosphere that helps the guests beat addictions to drink and drugs and stay away from prison.
