A small but ambitious team, proud to be supporting this life-changing network!
S/O to @Rest0red for training @balhambaptist to become a Beacon Church. Tonight we re-group to share our training experiences and generate ideas for our support strategy to empower women 💪🏽🧡 >
A couple of weeks ago we had the joy of welcoming a new church, @balhambaptist, to our Restored Beacon network!
The team at Balham Baptist have now completed all three levels of our domestic abuse training and are ready to start supporting survivors 🙌

Tonight’s @Rest0red L2 domestic abuse #training at @balhambaptist continued to analyse frequently misunderstood scripture, demonstrating how increased understanding, explanation and discussion can help survivors to eliminate any shame around violence to move forward >
The @balhambaptist team kick-started @Rest0red’s L2 ‘Understanding Domestic Abuse’ #training tonight, exploring what the Bible says about this issue and how easily it can be taken out of context to perpetuate negative ideals and behaviours. It was detailed, but we love learning!

While football doesn’t cause domestic abuse, it can make existing abuse more frequent and severe. If after the match last night anything left you feeling uneasy or in need of support, remember you're not alone. You can access support from our services via:ow.ly/uCHo50SzI3i

Survivors of #DomesticAbuse can register to vote anonymously in the next #GeneralElection. It’s crucial for survivors to have a voice in the country’s governance just like everyone else, whilst also prioritising their own safety. Register by the 18th June: brnw.ch/21wKILh

Remember that National Domestic Abuse Helpline is for women needing help. As I am a man, I went to @ManKindInit for confidential advice. Elsewhere, @Rest0red kindly mentions mensadviceline.org.uk/

I believe the 10% drop in police-recorded #DomesticAbuse published last week is artificial, due to new rules allowing police to count fewer crimes.
Administrative ease should not be prioritised at the expense of domestic abuse victims.
This is simply not good enough. 1/2
