Alyn and Deeside AM Carl Sargeant has helped spread some Christmas cheer to families who have suffered abuse.
Many thanks to @carlsargeant1 dropping off Christmas gifts for women in our refuges over Christmas! http://t.co/NLb62db7D3

This week, he donated selection boxes to Welsh Women’s Aid for distribution to children in refuges across Wales.
He said:
“Many families will be waking up this Christmas morning in refuges, having fled abusive homes and relationships.
“Although they have taken a huge, brave step, it will still be very difficult for them being away from their homes and in some cases, extended family.
“By donating a present to Women’s Aid, you can make sure every child has something to open on Christmas Day, no matter what their family situation is.”
