Two brave women have conquered the Great Wall of China for a Bromley charity which supports victims of child abuse.

The charity, Survivors of Abuse (SOB), was founded by Chris Tuck who endured a tumultuous and neglectful childhood.

She now offers specialist support to victims of abuse, be it sexual, mental or physical.

These include Pauline Sharp and Jo Kingsbury, who completed the 36km terrain over five gruelling days.

They placed a brick in the wall in a symbolic gesture for survivors.

Jo said: "We’ve shed some tears but also laughed even when things got tough and it was so important for us to raise awareness and gain trust from other people who have stayed silent because they felt unable to speak out.

"We are now letting them know that they do have a voice and together we can work towards making a change.

"We need to show people that there is a better life out there and the support of SOB can help them move on their journey towards achieving that life."

Pauline said she wanted to prove survivors can not only get through adversity but can also thrive.

She added: "It was a personal battle for me to show myself what I have overcome, that I have grown from my healing, that I can forge ahead and be a voice for those who are unable to do so."

The pair, who are from Portsmouth, raised £5,000 for the Bromley charity and founder Chris said she was "so grateful" to the "amazing women" for their contribution.
