Domestic violence services

Arch Domestic Violence Services started in 1976 when the Elizabeth Trust opened two women’s refuges; Elizabeth House and Tolkien House.


Since then, we have:

  • Developed a local Domestic Violence Helpline, which is staffed entirely be volunteers.
  • Begun our innovative Outreach Work in the community, which includes group and one-to-one support for female victims of domestic violence, and educational work with male perpetrators.
  • Started our pioneering Relationships Without Fear schools programme, which raises awareness of domestic violence to school children.
  • Extended our Training programme to teach more professionals about the issues surrounding domestic violence.
