We have recently launched a bespoke new service to support women who are experiencing or have experienced co-occurring domestic abuse and substance misuse/addiction issues. Our aim is to provide ongoing emotional and practical support, taking into account the additional barriers faced by women experiencing the aforementioned issues.

We would welcome any new referrals from partner agencies, in addition to self-referrals. Additionally, our drop in service operates between 9.30am-3.30pm Monday to Friday, where women can access crisis support.

A party on stage, hosted by a large group of 13-17 years old. They play their favourite music, sometimes they sing along or dance or cry or whatever. They talk about their music, their ideas, worries, thoughts and dreams. They hang-out and listen to each other with their audience, supporting and celebrating each other. The stage is theirs, the words are theirs, it’s their party and they do whatever they want.
