DV support

Westside Community Care seeks to support victims of domestic violence in the local community through a range of services:

​

• free food parcels (ongoing as needed)

• free legal advice and tax advice

• free safe phones and sim cards

• subsidised counselling

• free pastoral prayer and guidance (if desired)

• access to our Westside Community Care Network on Facebook to obtain (anonymously) other wide and varied support as needed (for example, donations of household items, goods and services)

• fuel vouchers

• one-off contributions toward rent/ moving costs

• community engagement opportunities with others on their recovery journey out of DV 

  • for example​, we have 3 ladies support groups and one men's group. Additionally, with our food giveaways 5 days a week comes lots of opportunities for community members to connect and develop therapeutic relationships with staff and volunteers

• free of charge Circuit Breaker course, breaking the cycle of DV, including both potential victims and perpetrators 

• referral to other organisations such as DVAC and GEMs
