Domestic Abuse
Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service (NDAS) began under the name of Northampton Women’s Aid in 1976. Originally staffed by volunteers the organisation has changed a lot since then but has always been dedicated to helping and supporting the victims of domestic abuse.
Our experience and statistics tell us that women are the main victims of domestic abuse. Much of the work we do is supporting women. However, this is not inclusive. We have helped and continue to support victims and survivors from all genders and walks of life, covering all ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, sexual orientation and religions. We changed our name to reflect this, and the work we do in Northamptonshire as a whole county.
NDAS support the needs of male clients fleeing domestic abuse in our male refuge. This refuge is one of only nine in the whole of the UK that is solely designated for male victims only.
NDAS recognise that more support for male victims is needed.
