*COVID-19 SERVICE UPDATE*
Like everyone else, Compassion has been forced to adapt to the current situation surrounding the outbreak of the COVID-19. As a result, all programmes and support groups have been postponed until further notice, with no new programmes starting until government advice states it is safe to do so.
Please call 07597 337831 if you require any support or advice, either for yourself or on behalf of someone you are concerned about.
This Phoneline is open between the hours of 9.00 am – 1pm Monday to Friday.
If you are calling outside of these times, there is an answerphone service in place which is regularly monitored, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Kind Regards
Compassion

Our Aim
To raise awareness and understanding about all aspects of domestic violence and abuse within our local community in Babergh, Suffolk.
We work to develop and promote good practice to make domestic abuse legally, socially, morally and culturally unacceptable.
How We Can Help…..
Do you want to understand more about your experiences and the tactics used by abusers?
The Freedom Programme helps you to learn about the reality of domestic violence and abuse.
Do you want to offer your children the opportunity to understand the abuse and violence they may have heard or witnessed?
The Stronger Families Community Programme creates a safe space in which children have the chance to do this.
