Support for anyone experiencing domestic abuse over Christmas

Help is available for anyone experiencing domestic abuse over Christmas

Christmas is going to be very different this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning that anyone living with domestic violence will be more isolated.

Domestic abuse does not stop for Christmas and if you, or someone you are concerned about needs help, you are not alone.

Dial 999 if you are in immediate danger and ask for the police

(If you can't speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and, when prompted, dial 55 to connect to the police).

About domestic abuse

Domestic abuse affects people of all ages, races, religions and socio-economic groups. It can often be hard to recognise, harder to live with and sometimes even harder to move past. This page explains about the different types of domestic abuse, how to recognise it and the effects it can have.

History of Haven

Haven House charity was established in 1975 as a refuge for women and children affected by domestic abuse. We have developed over the years and now provide a range of services for children and young people, and their wider family, in Sheffield and the surrounding area. We also provide services to professionals, helping them to support the children and young people that they work with. Read more
