The project equips you with an understanding of domestic abuse and how to respond to survivors to enable the community to play an active role in ending domestic abuse.

What You'll Do: 

Sessions will take place on 18 and 25 October between 10.00 - 2.00 pm at Easterside Community Hub. We will be offereing another series of sessions on 22 and 29 November. Please note, both sessions must be attended to complete and you are only required to attend the October or November sessions. After the training, ambassadors are given resources and support to share what they have learned with those around them in ways that feel most comfortable to them. They are encouraged to start conversations and help others to better understand the barriers that survivors face in speaking out. An ambassador can commit as much or as little time as they can give We’ll keep in touch with new opportunities and events such as meet-ups, campaign involvement and volunteering.
