A major campaign will be launched next week to highlight the help available for those at risk of domestic abuse.
Domestic Abuse Awareness Week from Monday, November 23 to Saturday, November 28 will focus on the themes that domestic abuse can happen to anyone, and that anyone can get support in Southend.
From next Monday to Friday, members of Southend Domestic Abuse Forum – which represents a range of agencies in the borough – will be in the foyer of Southend Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend, to give out information on domestic abuse and offer details of the services in Southend that respond to this.
