Domestic Violence Matters

Monday, 11 January 2021 15:23

Cheshire is opening the door on unhealthy relationships.

Are you, or someone you know, in a relationship that doesn't feel quite right?
Is one person in the relationship controlling, manipulative, abusive, or violent?
If so, this is an unhealthy relationship and is defined as domestic abuse.

What happens behind closed doors doesn't have to stay there. This website has been designed to help you if you, or someone you know, is in a relationship that doesn't feel quite right.

Supermarkets are supporting us by being part of our Alone at Last campaign. Store staff can help you access help by finding you a quiet space to call us on 101 or visit https://www.openthedoorcheshire.org.uk/ to get the support from our partners in your area of Cheshire.
