Domestic abuse at Christmas
Reports of domestic abuse are known to increase over the Christmas holiday period.
Financial worries, alcohol consumption and long periods of time together at home all contribute to the rise.
This winter we are running a campaign with Next Link Plus+, who provide domestic abuse support services, to encourage people to get the help they need to be safe.
We are providing community venues with posters which signpost to the Next Link Plus+ helpline. They have specialist advisors who have the training and expertise to support and help survivors and their families.
