The Nelson Trust is a charity supporting women at risk of imprisonment or that have been in the Criminal Justice System before. They bring belief, hope and long-term recovery to people whose lives have been torn apart by addiction. Their women's centres provide a safe, trauma-informed and female-only environment for women to access support. In partnership with various law clubs at the University alongside the support of The Nelson Trust, donations of essentials such as sanitary products, soap, clothes, toiletries and bedding were collected and delivered to these centres in conjunction with International Women's Day.
