We're here to provide support, advice and action on Domestic Abuse
Who we are
The Suffolk Domestic Abuse Helpline is an initiative from Suffolk County Council and is supported by many partner agencies all working together to provide support, advice and action on domestic abuse. Together we make up the Suffolk Collective.

The Suffolk Domestic Abuse Helpline was set up to offer a local solution to the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge, to provide local support, advice and action.

ACT is a multi-service charity based in Ipswich with one of their services being Domestic Abuse Outreach Support. They offer services such as Housing, Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Money/Employment Advice as part of their remit which makes them qualified to offer support, advice and action to callers.
