✨ Reclaim the Night – Wellingborough ✨
Last Friday, we proudly joined a rainy Reclaim the Night march in Wellingborough, standing together with our community to say no to violence against women and girls.

This annual event is more than a walk—it’s a powerful statement. Reclaim the Night began as a movement to challenge the fear and restrictions placed on women, especially at night. It calls for safe streets, equality, and an end to harassment and abuse.

By marching, we show solidarity with survivors and demand change so that everyone can feel safe, wherever they are, at any time of day.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support this important cause. Together, we can create a safer future for all. 💜

The Sunflower Centre is today marking 25 years of preventing harm for domestic abuse victims.

Our Director of Victim Services, Fiona Campbell, shares how much of an impact it’s had since it was created as a specialist service in 2000.

A domestic abuse service, which provides wraparound care to hundreds of victims in Northamptonshire every month, is marking its 25-year anniversary on December 3. The Sunflower Centre was established in 2000 as a dedicated domestic abuse centre for the county and is needed now more than ever to prov...

Last Friday (28th November, 2025), Fiona Campbell, Director of Voice for Victims and Witnesses, spoke at the Reclaim the Night March to highlight the issue of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). She explained that VAWG includes domestic abuse, sexual violence, stalking, harassment, and other forms of gender-based harm, which violate fundamental human rights.

Fiona shared alarming statistics, such as 3.8 million people experiencing domestic abuse in England and Wales in the year ending March 2025, and emphasised that only 15% of serious sexual offences are reported.

She outlined Voice’s commitment to supporting victims through specialist services, including Independent Domestic Violence Advisors and dedicated support for diverse communities and complex needs. Fiona also called for collective responsibility to create safe, inclusive communities. Voice pledges to challenge harmful behaviours, take reports seriously, and promote equality across Northamptonshire.

At Voice for Victims and Witnesses, we work tirelessly to ensure survivors are heard, supported, and empowered to live free from abuse. It doesn't matter if you have reported the crime to the police or not, we can help.

We pledge to:
✅ Promote a culture that does not tolerate harmful language or behaviour
✅ Take reports of harassment and violence seriously
✅ Support Northamptonshire’s ambition to be a safe place for all women and girls

We were joined at All Saints Church, in the middle of the town centre, by those who had marched from Barry Road into town, including the Police Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone and Deputy Commissioner Marianne Kimani. (Pictured).

There is another Reclaim the Night March this Friday 5th December, starting at 6.30pm Meet at Club Palm Beach, 3 Commercial Way, Wellingborough, NN8 1ET.

Together, we can create a world where women and girls feel safe and are safe. 💜

During 16 Days of Activism, from November 25 to December 10, Voice is attending both Reclaim the Night marches and vigils on November 28 and December 5 where staff will speak about their important work and how to access support.

The march is a show of solidarity between women in Northamptonshire to raise their collective voices against sexual violence and harassment.

These are just some of the steps Voice has taken to keep women and girls safe.

Earlier this year, specialists from Voice were chosen to take part in a Home Office pilot known as Raneem’s Law.

Independent Domestic Violence Advisors work in the Force Control Room during peak hours – from Wednesday to Sunday – to give victims a fast response and make sure they are referred to support services as quickly as possible.

It was made possible because the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner applied for Ministry of Justice funding to recruit these posts.
