Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - Domestic abuse helplines
Unfortunately, sometimes this can lead to increased tensions in relationships, so we want to reassure anyone who is suffering from domestic abuse – a bad score is not a valid excuse for your partner to kick-off.
Domestic abuse can be triggered by many things, including alcohol, it isn’t always just physical – it can be a pattern of controlling, coercive and threatening behaviour which can also be emotional, psychological and sexual. Both men and women can be a victim of domestic abuse.
You are not alone, help is available.
We work with a number of partners across Staffordshire who themselves have online advice services and confidential helplines.
Please visit some of these partners at:
New Era - https://www.new-era.uk/
Staffordshire Women’s Aid - https://www.staffordshirewomensaid.org/
Savana - https://savana.org.uk/
In an Emergency please call 999.

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust - new Covenant Fund programme to mitigate impact of separation on Forces families
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) has launched the second in a series of new Covenant Fund programmes under its exciting three-year Funding Framework.
Apart Not Alone: Support for Serving Families programme is now open for applications for grants between £5,000 and £15,000 for projects that will help to mitigate the impact of long or frequent involuntary separation for families, spouses, and serving personnel, including Reservists and their families.
The Trust ran a public consultation in 2023, which identified that one of the key areas to focus on was ‘Reducing stress and challenges for Armed Forces families'. This family focused programme will address the unique needs of serving Armed Forces families facing long and/or frequent involuntary separation which can have significant impact on different aspect of family life. The consultation findings are available to read on The Trust website.
