Resources for Victims of Domestic Violence

For domestic violence emergencies, please call 999 to reach the police immediately or contact the Community Safety Unit (CSU) of Richmond on 0208 721 5888.

Each year, domestic violence claims the lives of 106 women and 30 men on average in the UK. Furthermore, there will be around 35 incidents of abuse before the victim reports it to the police. These tragic statistics highlight the fear that many victims have in coming forward to speak out about the abuse. Many suffer in silence due to worry of their partner finding out; and this only aids in allowing the abuse to continue. While we understand fully how difficult it can be to report the crime, we do believe that opening up about your experience can be beneficial to you on a psychological level. This doesn’t have to be the police; in fact, there are a number of charities both national and local who provide confidential support and care to those in need.

Refuge—Richmond Advocacy and Community Outreach Service provides help and support to domestic violence victims who are living in the Richmond area. As well as guidance and advice, they also run a drop in for victims of domestic abuse every week at St John the Divine Church Hall, Kew Road between 10am and 1pm.

The National Domestic Violence Helpline is a 24-hour free-phone service which offers confidential listening and advice to victims of domestic abuse. Call handlers are trained support workers who offer a non-judgmental approach and will always be available to take your call. You can reach them on 0808 2000 247.

If you identify as part of the LGBT+ community and seek exclusive support, getting in touch with Broken Rainbow might be beneficial to you. Broken Rainbow are a national charity for victims of domestic abuse who provide a listening service, information and confidential advice. Contact Broken Rainbow on their free-phone at 0800 999 5428.

If temporarily relocating is not possible, Shelter will provide emergency refuge services and ensure that you have a place to live that is secure and protected. Call them on 0808 800 444.
