We have our first business partner!

We are happy to announce our first Charity Business partner - the amazing Wendy Woo from My Mood Stars! Wendy was first introduced to Dash when we began using her Mood Stars to help the children struggling with their emotions as a result of experiencing domestic abuse. Wendy has a small business but has found a way to give back by donating to Dash. Many thanks Wendy!

About us

DASH stands for Domestic Abuse Stops Here. We support women, children and men suffering from any kind of abuse from partners, ex partners or family members. Did you know that: - 2 women every week die in the UK at the hands of a partner or ex - 1 in 4 women experience domestic abuse at some point in their life - 1 in 6 men experience domestic abuse at some point in their life - 750,000 children experience domestic abuse each year Dash offers practical and professional advice at any stage of abuse - whether you are at the point of crisis, experiencing ongoing abuse or needing help to rebuild your life afterwards. Our dedicated caring team specialise in supporting victims on their journey, and enable them to become survivors. The team help individuals protect their rights, improve their safety, and gain a feeling of empowerment. All these elements help our clients build on the powers of resilience and work towards achieving an independent and safe future. We provide sanctuary for women and children who need a safe house as a means of escape. DASH is working closely with schools to break the cycle of abuse, by challenging myths and stereotypes and promoting healthy beliefs and attitudes amongst children. We have developed strong partnerships in the community with emergency services, crisis teams, legal teams and local partner agencies for over the last 42 years. We are committed to increasing awareness and promoting zero tolerance of domestic abuse. We are a small charity passionate about making a difference to those who desperately need our help.
