Dyfed Powys Police has announced that the John Burns Foundation will be the primary sponsor of the Chief Constable’s Great Welsh Marathon Run in April of next year. This announcement comes as part of a bigger initiative centred around highlighting domestic abuse cases in the area, with a particular focus over the Christmas period where an increase in incidents sadly occur more frequently.
John Burns , the founder of pet food company Burns Pet Nutrition, handed over his sponsorship cheque at the John Burns Foundation. Dyfed-Powys Police has recently launched a campaign aiming to empower victims to take the first step in seeking help as it works to eliminate domestic abuse from its communities.
John said: “This is an incredibly important cause and something we’re keen on supporting, especially if it helps raise awareness over the festive holiday period. We want to help highlight the support available to any victims in the community and make them aware of the incredibly brave first steps they can take to ensure they stay safe at home."
