Read our privacy policy Former England footballer and television presenter Alex Scott has vowed to use her platform to raise awareness of domestic abuse and help victims and survivors as she became a charity ambassador. The ex-Lioness has joined domestic abuse charity Refuge in its work to help people affected by such violence. I first started working with Refuge following the launch of my book, in which I opened up about my experience of domestic abuse as a child. “As an ambassador, I want to use my platform and voice to spread awareness of domestic abuse and ensure that women know what support is available to them.”
