About us
Who we are
Here at Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service (NDAS), we want to ensure that everyone feels like they have somewhere to turn to. We support women and men as well as children to help them to recover from the trauma of domestic abuse. We are proud to be a dynamic and forward thinking charity that always has the victim/survivor at the heart of everything we do.
NDAS began under the name of Northampton Women’s Aid in 1976. Originally staffed by volunteers the organisation has changed a great deal since then but has always been dedicated to helping and supporting the victims of domestic abuse.
Our experience and statistics tell us that women are the main victims of domestic abuse. Much of the work we do is supporting women. However, this is not inclusive. We have helped and continue to support victims and survivors from all genders and walks of life, covering all ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, sexual orientations and religions.
Our culture and values
NDAS is committed to saving lives, reclaiming lives and improving the lives of individuals and families who are affected by domestic abuse.
We believe that everyone, adults and children, has the right to live in a safe environment that allows them to thrive, realise their potential and develop at their own pace.
We want to prevent, reduce and minimise the harm inflicted by domestic abuse and help families be happy, healthy and resilient; and for future generations be free from abuse and fear.
