Domestic abuse
The Assia Suite will be closed from Monday 23 March 2020. There will be no drop in service but you can receive support over the phone by calling 01656 815 919.
We run a one-stop shop for domestic abuse services for people of all backgrounds. While at our “Assia Suite”, you can access:
- advice and guidance
- a refuge
- a risk assessment so specialists can tailor support to you and your family
- safety planning
Also this is the route to get support for children who have experienced domestic abuse. What’s more, the service is confidential so you don’t have to give your name.
Drop in for domestic abuse services
To be seen in person, visit reception at the Civic Offices in Bridgend, as per the below details. Then ask for ‘the Assia Suite’ or ‘Calan’, and you will be taken to a secure area at the back of the building.
