EIDA and 40 volunteers from Amazon in Wakefield provided 100 grab bags to West and North Yorkshire Police, who will issue them to people who have had to leave their homes at short notice. Police forces are often the first point of contact for people impacted by domestic abuse.

Coun Maureen Cummings of Wakefield Council was also in attendance, in her capacity as the new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Champion and as part of efforts to reduce domestic violence in the district.
