Community Champions

We are here to support you.  We understand what you may be experiencing and we can help.

Do people naturally talk to you? By becoming a Community Champion you can make a difference to people who are affected by domestic violence or sexual violence.

You don’t need to be an expert to help. Receive free Community Champion training to:

Understand the signs and symptoms of sexual and domestic violence
Become confident in helping people access specialist services

How many times?

We use the phrase ‘How many times?’ in our social media account for a few reasons:

on average, a person experiences 36 incidents of domestic abuse before seeking help
nationally there are still more than two women a week dying due to domestic abuse
thousands of men, women and children continue to be affected by these abuses every year in Leicester.

Remember, you are not alone – many people experience domestic violence, rape and/or sexual assault. Recognising that you are experiencing violence and abuse is the first step and accessing support can help you to decide what you can do.
