“Most men care deeply about the women and girls in their lives, mothers, sisters, partners, friends.
Taking part in this conversation is one of the most meaningful ways to show that care.”
We are priviledged to have Matt Pinkett lead this session who has written two books and recently ran sessions in Dunnottar School, Reigate.
This event is open to all but particularly invites men and boys to have an open, honest conversation about what it means to be a man today, the pressures, the positives, and the power we have to make change. Together, we can shape a culture where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. More information and to book your free ticket use the link here

Domestic abuse doesn’t stay at home. It walks into the workplace with your employees, affecting their wellbeing, productivity, and safety.
Domestic abuse costs UK businesses an estimated £1.9 billion a year in lost productivity, absenteeism, and staff turnover. Survivors may struggle to concentrate, miss work due to injuries or court dates, or leave jobs to escape abusers who know their routines.
By ignoring domestic abuse, businesses risk not only their staff’s wellbeing but also feel the cost of their valuable staff not being able to maximise their worth.
We are extremely honoured to have Fiona Bowman speak online at this event, chaired by Hannah Godfrey from Equal Plane at Gatwick Airport.
Tuesday 9th December
Our last annual report documented a 7% increase in referrals of 3,469 in total compared to 3,237 last year. Over 89% of survivors we worked with were at either high or medium risk of serious harm. 93% of survivors were female. 604 had children.
Behind every statistic is a person, a family, a story - and a community that can make a difference.
Please join us as we come together - to honour those whose lives have been affected by domestic abuse, and to remember those we have lost. For more information and to reserve your place click here
Polish Webinar
Please watch this space.
We are pleased to be delivering an online webinar in Polish to help increase awareness and understanding of domestic abuse. This session will explore the dynamics of domestic abuse, the signs to look out for, and the barriers that victims and survivors may face when seeking help. We will also explain the range of support our service offers, including practical guidance, emotional assistance, and pathways to safety. By providing this webinar in Polish, we aim to ensure that more people can access vital information, helping survivors understand that they are not alone and that support is available.
