The majority of the domestic violence awareness movement has focused on heterosexual relationships, in the past members of the LGBTQ+ community have been largely left out of the movement.
Research shows that LGBTQ members fall victim to domestic violence at equal or even higher rates compared to their heterosexual counterparts.
We are pleased to announce, thanks to funding from @miltonkeynescouncil , we now have an Independent Domestic Abuse Advisor who is a LGBTQ+ Specialist.
If you are from the LGBTQ+ community and you are experiencing domestic abuse please contact us for help and support. #domesticabuse #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqhistorymonth #miltonkeynes #pridemonth

We could not do, what we do without you! Thank you to @andersonscater 💕

Its #volunteersweek2022 so a perfect time to give a BIG THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers for all your help and support this year!
Collectively our volunteers give us hundreds of hours of their time and commitment in a given year and we couldn’t do what we do without you – through to being Trustees, to helping our staff and clients with tasks in our refuge, collecting, sorting and distributing donations, providing counselling & assisting on our training for professionals & support programmes.
You make a massive difference to the help we can provide! A huge thank you to you all. #thankyou #volunteers
