Finding support when experiencing domestic violence is crucial, and several services are available to those in Llanerchymedd and the wider Isle of Anglesey. While Llanerchymedd, a Built-Up Area with a population of 1976, boasts a crime rate of 33.4 per 1,000 residents – significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 – it's important to acknowledge that domestic violence affects communities of all sizes. This area also benefits from a safety score of 91/100, which is above the UK average of 79, suggesting a relatively safer environment. However, this does not negate the need for robust support systems.
Direct access to local Llanerchymedd-specific domestic violence services may be limited due to the area's size. Therefore, it's vital to utilise national and regional resources. Live & Work Here (https://liveandworkhere.co.uk/) provides information and links to local support services, and is a good starting point for finding organisations operating in the Isle of Anglesey region. The national helpline Respect Phoneline (0808 802 4040) is available for perpetrators of domestic abuse seeking support to change their behaviour. For victims, Women's Aid (https://www.womensaid.org.uk/) offers a free, confidential helpline (0808 2000 247) and a directory of local refuges and support services across the UK. They can provide immediate support, safety planning, and information on legal options.
SafeLives (https://www.safelives.org.uk/) is another invaluable resource, offering support and guidance to victims and professionals. The Suzy Lamplugh Foundation (https://www.suzylamplugh.org/) also provides advice and resources related to personal safety, which can be helpful in developing strategies to stay safe. Remember, accessing support is a sign of strength, and help is available regardless of your circumstances. If you are in immediate danger, please call 999.
