Northumberland Domestic Abuse Services (NDAS) is urging the community to utilise its domestic abuse support resources.

NDAS's services include a helpline, one-on-one support and therapeutic counselling for children.

The CEO, Sharon Brown, said: "We want to make sure that anyone suffering domestic abuse knows that help is available through contacting NDAS.

"Our staff listen, they believe what they are told and respond sensitively.

"Importantly they will help victims of abuse to find safety."

The assistance offered is comprehensive, from emotional backing to handling housing, legal and financial issues.

The service also encapsulates health and wellbeing, working and learning, and rebuilding self-esteem and confidence.

NDAS's helpline 01434 608030 operates Monday–Friday from 9am-5pm. More information is available at www.nda.services.
