NSAW 2026—Focusing on fatal fixation
This year’s National Stalking Awareness Week focused on the link between stalking and homicide
SAVE THE DATE!
Our special “ten-years on” conference this November will feature three leading keynote speakers
Government’s VAWG strategy published
The UK government has today published its long-awaited Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy, aimed at halving VAWG within a decade
Thank you, Rob!
Special thanks to Rob Byrne who ran in Sunday’s London marathon, and to all our other runners
Cycling across Wales
Our fundraising cyclists have ridden across England, Scotland, Ireland (once virtually and once for real)—and now it’s time for Wales!
Thank you, Blue Knights!
The Blue Knights motorcycle club raised an amazing £1,500 for the Alice Ruggles Trust at their recent rally in Sunderland
Formation of a trust
it was important to keep Alice’s name alive. It was inconceivable that such zest for life and vitality would simply disappear
A manual for the families of murder victims
Family liaison officers are amazing people. They are absolutely essential if your daughter has been murdered, because you need someone to ask all those unimaginable questions.
How not to cry
In the early days, most people just gave me a hug. I didn’t have to speak and I could avoid crying. But then people needed to talk to me about Alice, about what to do with her stuff, arrangements for her funeral and mundane, but hugely distressing administration tasks. I discovered that if I felt emotional, I could avoid crying by just stopping what I was saying, usually mid-sentence. In those early days there were a lot of silent pauses. I think my friends got used to it.
