Get Help
We have every right to be proud of the amazing North West charities that have broken new ground to enable domestic abuse victims to become survivors. But still, others fall through the safety net and more, so much more, needs to be done.

For victims, we provide links and information to find support. And hope that reaching out for help will get you to the safe place you rightly expect.
She Inspires Foundation wholeheartedly supports the vision of Edith Conn, in her passionate plea made in our Symposium, that sets out a new benchmark for all of us.
“No woman, no child, no man should ever seek help and not find a hand reaching out to them and bringing them to a safe place.”
Edith Conn JP OBE DL
Former High Sheriff and Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester,
Chair of Crimestoppers Greater Manchester and Ambassador for Inspire
Awards.
Speaking from the panel of our live Symposium, Edith reminded us all of this single-minded goal, and that nothing less should be acceptable.
“At home shouldn’t mean at risk” Edith said, then asked “is it right to contemplate a further 50 years where we need Fortalice, Refuge and Endeavour? Or is it time we did something about it?”
“It’s time that we made some change. Time that we looked at the government and said ‘we need help to address this NOW, at school, at home and in the workplace’.”
