A DOMESTIC abuse charity based in Derry is to hold a walk across the Peace Bridge today, Tuesday, January 3.
Organised by the La Dolce Vita Project, the ‘Walk in My Shoes Walk of Freedom’ event will start at 12 noon in Ebrington Square.
It will end at the City Hotel, where several high profile speakers will address the crowd.
They SDLP Foyle MLA Mark H Durkan, former Sinn Fein MLA Maeve McLaughlin, Michael Lynch from the Men’s Action Network, Stephanie Hill from the Way to Go Project and Francis Shields from Focus.
‘La Dolce Vita Project’ was set up by local Donna Maria Logue last January.
Friends suggested to her that she use the knowledge she gained during her own experience of domestic abuse to help others.
The group also offers advice to families who may suspect that a loved one is the victim of domestic abuse.
All the walkers at today’s event have been asked to bring a pair of shoes which will be exchanged before the event takes place.
T-shirts, tea, coffee and a buffet will be provided on the day for the event, which is sponsored by ‘The Big Lottery’
Those who wish to attend are asked to register in advance by telephoning La Dolce Vita Project on 02871 377272 or emailing [email protected].
