Support services

Peer mentor service

Our peer mentor service is delivered through a team of volunteers who have experienced domestic abuse themselves.

In short

  • Our peer mentors are volunteers who have lived through domestic abuse.
  • You can meet a mentor 1-2-1, or join a weekly group.
  • To start, fill in the referral form, or call or email us.

Our mentors offer emotional support to those who are currently suffering from domestic abuse, or those who have suffered domestic abuse and would benefit from support based upon shared experience.

You can be allocated a peer mentor who can work with you on a one to one basis, or you can attend our weekly coffee or activity groups.

Peer mentors

‘Buddy up’ mentors meet face to face with those who require support, either in your home if it is safe to do so, or within the community.

Peer support groups

You can meet others going through or recovering from domestic abuse in our weekly coffee or activity groups.

Example Trust volunteers help reduce isolation and provide signposting and practical help and support.
