Shropshire Domestic Abuse Service

 

The UEFA EURO 2024 championship kicked off last weekend. Whilst football itself is not the cause of domestic abuse, research shows that rates of domestic abuse increase during football championships.


Did you know Shropshire Domestic Abuse Service run drop-in sessions right across the county to help make their service accessible to all. They are open to anyone over 16 who needs information, support or advice about domestic abuse, and would like to talk to someone face-to-face. No appointment is necessary. 

If you are attending a session at a busy venue, such as a food bank, just ask for Sadie.
