We are trying to raise awareness of domestic violence but from a different angle –<\/h2>\n

We are looking for the ‘lads’ who will speak up when they are in a situation when the rest of hs friends are ‘having a bit of banter’ with girls.\u00a0 Or making a social situation difficult for girls.\u00a0 You know the type of thing.<\/h4>\n

We know that domestic violence increases after a football match – no matter who wins – and we know that the intake of alcohol increases too.\u00a0 So we’ve had some beer mats printed and we are distibuting them to local bars and pubs.<\/p>\n

It might make one ‘lad’ stop and think and speak out.<\/p>\n

Please BE THAT LAD<\/p>\n
