Domestic Abuse
Domestic violence can occur regardless of ethnicity, religion, class, age, sexuality, disability or lifestyle. It can occur in a range of relationships including heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender relationships.
Abusers come from all walks of life. They can come from any ethnic group, religion, class or neighbourhood. They may be older or younger, male or female.
Victims of domestic violence suffer on many levels - health, housing, education - and lose the freedom to live their lives how they want, and without fear.
We aim to support and advise victims of domestic violence by:
- Referring to other local agencies that can help, such as the Andover Crisis and Support Centre
- Providing safe, emergency accommodation
- Planning for long-term housing solutions by advising of housing rights and options.
Are you in a domestic violence situation and want to discuss your housing options?
