I am proud to announce that I have become a supporter of the National Centre for Domestic Violence and will be actively sharing the vital work they do to provide legal protection to those fleeing an abusive relationship. The work they do to raise awareness helps victims know they are not alone and can reach out for support. “You don’t need a bruise to be a victim” offers an all-important reassurance to those in emotionally abusive relationships, something that I know only too well.
I am in good company with fellow supporters Vicky McClure and Becky O’Brien.
NCDV says:
The National Centre for Domestic Violence are delighted to announce that Jennifer Gilmour has joined us as an official supporter. Jennifer is an author, advocate and survivor of domestic abuse, who uses her own experiences to raise awareness and help others in similar situations. NCDV look forward to working in Partnership with Jennifer now and in the future.
Our ethos and mission is the same as it has always been and as a Community Interest Company our aim is to help all victims of domestic abuse regardless of their financial circumstances and as such we have never and will never charge a victim for our services.
During 2020 we provided our free service to over 4,100 victims that could not obtain legal aid or afford a solicitor to represent them and would have undoubtedly otherwise fallen through the gap and gone unprotected. We received over 95,000 referrals from the police and domestic support agencies in 2020 and helped secure just under 10,000 non molestation orders. NCDV is by far the largest provider of support in this respect in England.
As a supporter I will be sharing NCDV campaigns to help raise more awareness, speak at future events, comment on specific initiatives or events and be listed as a supporter on the NCDV website.
