Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership shared Women's Aid's post.
We need to make sure survivors of domestic abuse get the helping hand they need. That's why we're working to come up with an alternative funding model for refuges to ensure sustainable funding for all domestic abuse services. Our CEO Katie Ghose was interviewed on BBC Two's Victoria Derbyshire show recorded live from one of our member services. Watch the programme again on iPlayer here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b0bjl4
Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership shared The WISH Centre's post.
Older victims are less likely to leave abusive relationships than younger people. Whereas more than two-thirds of victims aged under 60 left their abuser in the year before seeking help, barely a quarter of older people did. If you know someone who needs help or support please contact us on 01254 260465 if you live in BWD or the National helpline on 0808 2000 247
