The artwork, originally from Women’s Aid in Carrickfergus, was presented at an event held at the charity’s base on Carnmoney Road.

Grace McGurk, Community Resettlement Worker, said: “We are delighted to accept this beautiful artwork and for what it signifies; an abused woman’s journey through her life towards a life free from domestic abuse. One in four women will suffer domestic violence in their lifetime, be it physical, sexual, emotional, psychological or financial.
