ACTION
"We believe in partnership working," says Claire Lambon, chief executive of Stop Domestic Abuse. "We have partners across Hampshire delivering services for both victims and perpetrators, including voluntary sector organisations, local authorities and the police."
Stop Domestic Abuse was established as a charity in 2012; a spin off from Havant Women's Aid which was set up in 1977 and ran refuges for women affected by domestic violence. The charity now employs 92 staff and can accommodate 89 women and 178 children in 13 refuges across Hampshire.
In recent years, Stop Domestic Abuse has specialised in putting together consortia to bid for government funding, which have enabled it to expand and develop its services. In 2015, it received funding from the then Department for Communities and Local Government in two different partnerships, one led by Hart District Council, alongside partners Hampshire County Council and the You Trust.
