Will you take on the ultimate challenge and raise funds to support victims and survivors of domestic abuse? We have discounted charity places in Total Warrior’s Great Northern Mud Run, taking place during the weekend of 22-23 June in Leeds. Find out more and sign up today!

Great hearing Gabby Bertin on BBC Woman's Hour talking about our #KeepCounsellingConfidential campaign win!
We hope this much-needed change in law will better protect survivors' counselling notes, raising the legal threshold for when survivors’ notes can be requested by the police.

This week is #StalkingAwarenessWeek2024 with the key theme for this year being ‘join forces against stalking’.

To mark this week, Independent Domestic Abuse Services (IDAS), North Yorkshire Police - York and +Choices are delivering a short presentation for professionals in North Yorkshire.

Every day, family court orders are putting women and children at risk by forcing them into contact with dangerous abusers. @officalmelb calls on the Judicial College for mandatory training with experts like Women's Aid. Sign her petition here: ow.ly/9w7450RlltQ

Currently, there is no requirement that psychological 'experts' who give evidence in the family courts are suitably qualified and regulated. This case demonstrates why change is needed - to protect survivors and children. thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024-0…

💥 DON’T FORGET 💥

Tomorrow evening we will be at Pickering Memorial Hall with @idasfor100 to run our next POW workshop for mums and daughters.

So if you are looking for a relaxed and uplifting space then come join us for FREE!
