October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Posted on: October 3, 2025

Domestic abuse is more common than many realise.

In Essex alone, tens of thousands of incidents are reported each year—and many more remain hidden.

🗺️ If you or someone you know needs support, visit Essex Map to find local services, charities, and groups offering help.

🏷️ Are you a group, charity, or service offering support in this area? Don’t stay unseen—get listed so those in need can find you.
✉️ Email communications@essexalliance.org.uk to request addition.

Together, we can strengthen safety nets across Essex and ensure every community member knows help is out there. 💜
