Story
National statistics tell us that:
- 750,000 children a year witness DAV
- ¾ of those on the 'at risk' register live in homes with DAV
- 66% of high risk victims have children
- 16 to 19 years most prominent age range for partner abuse
This is why our Charity of the Year for Go North West's Bolton depot is Fortalice, chosen by our employees. For every employee who completes a challenge, we will donate £35 (the price of 1 child counselling session) to the charity.
Fortalice is a Bolton‑based domestic abuse charity providing lifesaving frontline support to women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse. If you need to get in contact with Fortalice, please call their 24-hours phone line - 01204 701 846.
Thank you for standing with us to support those who need it most.
