Support for Those Affected by Abuse

If you or someone you know needs help around abuse, Her Centre can help where you are at risk and to get emotional support, legal, practical help or access a refuge. We can support women to make themselves safe and signpost men.

You can contact the Her Centre on 020 3260 7772.

Emergencies:

In an emergency where afraid for your safety, always ring 999. Reporting to the police can lead to better support from the police should a future incident occur.

This runs every Friday morning, 10-12 at YMCA Thames Gateway, Antelope Road, SE18 5QG. Alternatively, ring the Greenwich DV Helpline on 020 8317 8273.
