Over 130 guests including the Lieutenant Governor His Excellency Sir Richard Gozney and The Honourable Howard Quayle MHK heard a personal message of support from HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.

Emma Barton from Radio Five Live and Hettie Barkworth - Nanton, former trustee of The Joanna Simpson Foundation, now chairperson of Refuge UK, also sent video messages of support for the newly launching Domestic Abuse Service.
