The initiative, The Print Assembly, founded by ever-passionate Kim Pappas and Emma Hayes of the innovative photographic agency Process, has curated an unprecedented collection of exceptional contemporary images that will become prized possessions for their new owners, adding to their homes the finest-quality art and granting each buyer the added joy of knowing its purchase has helped those in most desperate need.

Sandra Horley, Chief Executive of Refuge said, "Last year 1.6 million women in the UK suffered from domestic abuse. Reports from around the world show that the Covid-19 global pandemic has led to increases in domestic abuse incidents due to the periods of isolation and lockdown. Self-isolation has the potential to aggravate pre-existing behaviours by perpetrators and can make it more challenging for women to report and seek support. Experts are warning that the coronavirus outbreak will lead to a 'domestic abuse pandemic.'

The prints have been donated by a brilliant network of 102 emerging, represented, commercial and award-winning photographers across the UK photographic community, including highly-recognised and respected industry professionals such as Sophie Ebrard, Polly Penrose, Sarah M Lee, Simon Roberts, Dougie Wallace and Nick Meek.
