Supporting women's independency and empowering women are some of Antao's most important ethos’. We were very pleased to be able to collaborate with and support Lighthouse Women’s Aid who shares the same ethos. Our Antao team visited Lighthouse's Suffolk office on Monday 15th of July to express our support. On the day, we also learned a lot about their amazing work supporting and educating women, and children.
Apart from providing support to the vulnerable experiencing all kinds of domestic abuse, Lighthouse also educates women on how to recognize what kind of relationship they are in, and how to identify abusive behavior. It is a common misconception that domestic abuse only relates to violent behavior, it can also be emotional, psychological and financial.
When presented with Antao’s branded gift bags, the wording 'Be Your Own Queen' was a really powerful and emotive connection for Lighthouse, Laura, Lighthouse Fundraising and Volunteer Manager said ‘it is exactly the message they want to send out to women of all ages’.
