Charity of the Month
There are some great charities in the city who do amazing work supporting people, on a range of issues, and who deserve a bit more recognition for the work that they do.
My Charity of the Month is an ongoing effort to highlight, promote and celebrate the brilliant work that is carried out by so many local charities in Plymouth.
Each month, I will feature a charity on my website and social media channels to showcase their fantastic work and encourage people to give what they can to some great causes.
JUNE 2023 – PLYMOUTH DOMESTIC ABUSE SERVICES (PDAS)
This month I am featuring Plymouth Domestic Abuse Services (PDAS) to showcase their fantastic work and encourage people to give what they can to enable them to continue supporting those who have been victims of domestic abuse.
PDAS provide practical, non-judgemental support, advice and protection for all victims of domestic abuse. This support is offered to individuals and families, including confidential advice, one-to-one and group support sessions.
Domestic abuse remains one of the most prevalent crimes in England and Wales, and I believe that the current criminal justice system is failing those who become victims of these crimes, which makes the work that PDAS do more important than ever.
You can contact the refuge on 01752 562286 or PDAS directly on 0800 458 2558.
Information on what services are offered is available here.
PDAS have an Amazon wish list, items from which are given to individuals and families living in refuge accommodation.
