The lockdown and current restrictions have made it even harder for victims of domestic abuse to seek help. Although women make up the large proportion of those abused, men are also abused. Michelle spoke about\u00a0 training Community Ambassadors to offer a safe place to speak and refer victims to ESDAS. Details of this training will be made available shortly and will be posted on this website and social media. Michelle mentioned that they will be launching their Acts of Kindness appeal, where members of the public can donate an item that will bring comfort to a domestic abuse survivor.
