Domestic abuse can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. Our community partners play a crucial role in preventing abuse and supporting those affected.

We understand that speaking up can feel overwhelming. You may not feel ready to talk to the police but still want help. Please don’t suffer in silence.

Safer is there to listen, offer support, and help explore your options. Their helpline is available 24/7 on 01481 721999.

There is also a purple mobile phone at Guille-Allès Public Library, Guernsey, available for anyone experiencing domestic abuse to make a free, safe and discreet call. Just ask a member of staff.

If you’ve seen or heard something that doesn’t feel right, you can share your concerns anonymously with Crimestoppers Guernsey on 0800 555 111 or online: http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/.../person.../domestic-abuse

If you’re worried about abuse, your own or someone else’s, please reach out. You are not alone.

In an emergency, call 999 (you don’t need phone credit).

To speak to an officer, call 01481 222 222.

Spotted this and wanted to share it…

For the exhausted woman who showers a few minutes longer to cry with the water...

For the person hidden in the bathroom, because she needs a few minutes of tranquility while slipping tears from her eyes.

For the woman who is so tired that she feels she can't continue, that she would give anything to feel like herself again...

For the woman who cries in her room when everyone leaves the house and for a moment she let's go...

For the woman who desperately battles with self Confidence when wearing denim jeans (or anything frankly) because she wants to look pretty and wear them to feel better but everything feels different now…

For the woman who orders pizza for dinner because she didn’t have the time or energy to make dinner…Because she's tired.

For the woman who feels alone, even when she's not.

You're worth a lot. 💫

You are important. 🌍

You are enough. 💯

You are wonderful. 🩷

You’ve got this! 🌸

Xx

During Sexual Violence Awareness Week, we reflect on the importance of consent, respect, and safe spaces.
Supporting survivors, believing their experiences, and educating ourselves on prevention is a responsibility we all share.
Sexual violence can happen in relationships and it is never acceptable
Together, we can build communities where everyone feels safe and valued.

Christmas is often seen as a time of warmth and togetherness. It should be a time filled with joy, comfort and celebration — but for some, home doesn’t feel safe.

If things at home feel difficult or you’re feeling uneasy around your partner, ex-partner, or a family member, please know you’re not alone.

Our caring team can talk with you about what’s happening, help you understand your options, and support you in making a plan that feels safe and manageable for you.
