FAMILIES who have survived domestic abuse are being given the opportunity to rebuild their bond and go to a newly set-up holiday home. Swindon Sisters Alliance, a charity shop in The Parade, which was opened before Christmas, is offering a holiday home in Brean, Somerset, to 23 families. Emma King opened the shop after her sister, Julie, died after her estranged husband Richard Butcher cut and strangled her at their Chiseldon home in 2005. He was originally given a life sentence in 2006 with a minimum time served of 13 years and 197 days in jail for her murder. He was allowed out on licence in October 2020 due to a parole board decision.
