Since the scheme’s launch in April 2020, to 17th March 2024, the scheme has helped 8630 survivors, including 2423 children over five to safety.
Wow!
That is amazing - and it's rather sad that such a scheme is obviously so necessary.

Four years ago today "Rail to Refuge" was launched - it has come up in our calendar. Announced as a "during Covid" thing I wondered how it was getting on and just checked - still running and looks permanent at https://www.womensaid.org.uk/what-we-do/supporting-our-members/travel-to-refuge/ and with coach travel added
