Northamptonshire domestic abuse charity thanks Amazon Daventry for £1,000 donation

A Northamptonshire charity supporting victims of domestic abuse has received a £1,000 donation from the Amazon fulfilment centre in Daventry.

The team made the donation to Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service (NDAS), which offers one-to-one counselling, drop-in services and support groups to help those suffering from violence at home.

Amazon Daventry site leader Gareth Davies said: "NDAS is an important charity and we are pleased to support their efforts with this donation.

"Everyone should feel safe at home so it’s encouraging to know there are great support systems available to help vulnerable people in times of need.”

One of the support groups run by NDAS is the Freedom programme for female victims - the 10-week programme is aimed at women who have been or are currently in an abusive relationship.

The programme provides an opportunity for women to develop ways of thinking and behaving to help them to protect themselves, their children and others from harm.

NDAS also provides refuge for vulnerable men, one of only nine centres in the UK that is solely designated to male victims.

Zoe Tatham from NDAS said: “On behalf of everyone NDAS, I want to say a huge thank you to Gareth and the team from Amazon.

"Donations like this help us continue our work to ensure that victims of domestic abuse have the help and support they need.”

NDAS received the donation as part of the Amazon In The Community programme, where the company supports the communities around its operating locations across the UK.
