North Somerset Community Abuse Support Group

There is no excuse for domestic abuse - not stress, not alcohol, not the game ⚽️

At Next Link, we're starkly aware of the increased risk of domestic abuse and violence during England games and football tournaments like the World Cup.

Abuse is never acceptable. If you’re experiencing it, or worried about someone else, support is here.

This World Cup, we’re coming together across Bristol and South Gloucestershire to take a stand alongside South Gloucestershire Council, Bristol City Council, Avon and Somerset Police, with the support of Bristol City FC and Bristol Rovers FC.
