Annual Review 2019 - 2020
Domestic Abuse Support Service
220 people supported
Within our DVA Supported Accommodation service we worked with 142 adults and 72 Children. 100% of service users were able to
demonstrate that they knew how and where to access support from other agencies. In order to support our service users to be able to move on with
confidence and live independently it is essential that they are aware of who and how to access this support when they move on from our accommodation.
Young Parents Service
188 people supported
Within our Teenage Parent Service, we worked with 83 young parents and 105 children. As a result of the service offered services had a

This reflects the importance of those vulnerable families being able to move on successfully and take control of their lives.
