What about men?

Although we are a Women’s Aid, supporting women, we do recognise that men can also experience domestic abuse. We believe that abuse is never acceptable and that no-one should have to feel scared, hurt or intimidated by anyone.

We are specialised in supporting women and do not provide a service to men. However, should a man contact our service, we will sign-post them appropriately to specialised support services (please see below for more information).

If you are a man or you know a man who is experiencing any form of abuse, please contact one of the agencies below.
