We have consulted
with our Community Services section and their response is as follows:
All the help and
support for victims of domestic abuse in Mid Sussex is available both
to men and women
There are currently
two domestic violence drop-ins for Mid Sussex residents:
Haywards Heath
- The Yews, 55 Boltro Road
Tuesdays 12.30-14.30
Burgess Hill -
Help Point, 96 Church Walk
Tuesdays 12.00-14.00
A service for
East Grinstead will be starting in September 2006, so then all the
major towns in Mid Sussex will be covered.
For 2006-07 Mid
Sussex CDRP will be contributing £5,500 to the county's domestic
violence team in support of the above services and other domestic
violence initiatives. Each CDRP in the county puts in a similar amount.
Other towns in
West Sussex that offer domestic violence drop-ins are: Bognor Regis,
Chichester, Crawley, Horsham, Littlehampton and Worthing.
If you have any
queries concerning the information we have sent to you please do not
