A Festive Evening of Reflection and Unity
London Designer Outlet is proud to support Solace’s #IseeMaya campaign this Christmas. We hosted a special Christmas tree lighting event featuring the ‘Tree of Soles’, symbolising the women and children currently in refuge. A local choir added to the festive atmosphere, with guests donating generously to Solace.
Michelle D’Vaz-Plant, Head of Marketing at LDO, says:
“This year, our commitment to supporting women and children in our local communities is stronger than ever. It’s truly a collective effort, with support coming through both donations and acts of kindness. We’re inspired to see the LDO brands, our guests and the Brent community unite once again to make a real difference.”
#IseeMaya
At the heart of the campaign is Maya, a specially designed Christmas decoration that represents women who have been silenced or isolated due to emotional abuse – a hidden but devastating form of domestic violence. You can support the campaign too:
- Donate to receive a Maya Decoration: Available now from Solace’s website solacewomensaid.org and at London Designer Outlet’s Guest Services. Proceeds go directly to supporting Solace’s life-changing work.
- Spread Awareness: Share photos of Maya on your Christmas tree using the hashtag #IseeMaya to help amplify the message and show solidarity with survivors.
