We are survivor led support and advocacy for those affected by Domestic Abuse in the newton le willows area. Domestic Abuse WA12 established in 2021 . Having our own domestic abuse journeys we united to help tackle the gaps in services that we both fell through. Evolving along our way we now run support groups, well-being pathways of healing and recovery , training and development and have also added at the beginning of this year our greatly received surplus food share programme - this is a community project not just domestic abuse related where we collect surplus foods from local food venues and distribute into our local community of WA12 . We have no requirements for this food collection wise anyone can help save the foods from landfill but also this is a highly valued addition in our area for those that are also struggling with the current economic climate - which in turn can then feed into the domestic abuse arena . Additional projects also include clothes recycling and a community garden for partnership projects - healing and wellbeing . We distribute via our local church hall daily We are unfunded and volunteer led. We offer confidential support, including advocacy, survivor led empowerment, signposting, 2-1 support, weekly meetings with other survivors, risk management and crisis management, safety action plans, a safe space, clean laptops, and Internet access, and support into recovery pathways. We also offer learning workshops, education around domestic abuse, healthy relationships, positive mental health practices, and confidence and self esteem. Additionally we offer access to holistic therapies such as guided meditation, yoga, reiki and other healing therapies.

Open Circle Community brings people together to reduce isolation and build stronger, healthier communities. Through peer-led support, shared activities and welcoming spaces, we help people reconnect—with themselves, with others and with hope. We are a welcoming hub for anyone seeking connection and support, with a particular heart for people in recovery from addiction and alcohol dependency. Recovery can be a lonely road, and so many people feel isolated—through their recovery journey, ill health, hardship, bereavement or simply the pace of modern life. Our mission is to bring people together, spark conversation and create opportunities for collaboration, turning strangers into neighbours and neighbours into friends. At the heart of what we do is peer-led support: the belief that people who have faced similar challenges can offer each other understanding, encouragement and practical help. Alongside this, we run shared activities and social sessions where people can drop in, feel welcome and belong—no referral, no pressure, just a warm space and a friendly face. Who we help: We work mainly with people in recovery from addiction and alcohol dependency, offering connection, community and a supportive network beyond formal treatment. But our doors are open to everyone—anyone who feels cut off or in need of a supportive community is welcome, whatever their story. What our sessions look like: Regular drop-ins and welcoming spaces to meet others, peer support where lived experience makes the difference, shared refreshments and meals that bring people around a table, and collaborative activities that build skills, confidence and friendships. How you can help: As a small, community-led organisation, we rely on the generosity of our neighbours and local partners to keep our doors open. The support we need most: • Surplus food—fresh produce, store-cupboard staples, drinks and refreshments to fuel our shared meals and drop-in sessions, so no one goes without and good food isn't wasted. • Volunteer help—friendly people to greet visitors, make a brew, help run activities or share a skill. • Practical donations—kitchen and hospitality supplies and everyday items that keep our spaces running. Every contribution—surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, a few hours of your time, or a helping hand—goes directly towards reducing isolation and supporting people to build healthier, more connected lives. If you share our belief that no one should feel alone, we'd love to work with you. Join us in making a real difference, one conversation, one meal and one connection at a time.
