Advice & Advocacy Support Services
We can provide you with the immediate help and advice you need to keep safe whether you choose to involve the police and the courts, whether you choose to stay in your relationship or if you feel you need to leave immediately.
We will support you to stay safe – whatever decision you make. Our advice team are able to give you immediate advice on all issues relating to domestic and sexual violence, ensuring that you are safe and making you aware of all your options.
In some areas of London we can provide a dedicated advocate who will support you to be safe and recover and we can involve other services when they are needed. An advocate will represent you with other services, sometimes speaking on your behalf if that’s what helps you. Please check here to see if this service is available in your area.

“I got in with the wrong crowd at school, I was bunking off and my results were awful. My relationship with my mum really suffered as well because of my dad’s violence, she hated all my friends and I started to feel really lonely at home. When Mum got advice we were able to move to a refuge and the worker at Solace helped me turn my life around – now I’m back into studying and feel like I’m doing something positive with my life”
