Lucy's Winter MessageAs we reach the winter months and reflect on the year behind us, we are reminded of the importance of community, connection and compassion. At Alpha Vesta, our mission remains unwavering: to break the cycle of domestic abuse through awareness, prevention and early intervention and we are grateful to our continued funders that share our vision, investing in a future free from domestic abuse.


As we approach Christmas, many of us think of celebration, connection and time spent with the people we love. Yet for others, the festive season can be a very difficult and stressful time of year facing fear, isolation and the pressure to keep everything “perfect” to avoid conflict.

The “Coachella of community power” is coming back to the Guildhall on 16 June 2026.

​Our seventh year promises to be another sell-out gathering of innovators looking to gather inspiration and motivation from the very special community we bring together. So, what are you waiting for?

Start the new year by focusing on your wellbeing with Community Roots at the Chai Centre, Burnley. We offer a wide range of free, welcoming sessions for anyone aged 16+ 💚
