Domestic abuse and sexual violence can affect anyone. To mark No More Week 2026 (2-8 March), we’re here to remind you of the support and help available if you’re a victim of domestic abuse or sexual violence or know anyone who is.
What is No More Week?
No More Week is a national campaign to raise awareness about domestic abuse and sexual violence, inspiring individuals, organisations and communities to make a difference. Organised by crisis charity Hestia and UK SAYS NO MORE, this year’s campaign coincides with International Women's Day on March 8.
We’re here to help
If you’re experiencing domestic abuse or sexual violence, please know you’re not alone. Our Tenancy Services team are trained to support and advise vulnerable tenants and work closely with partner organisations and specialist services to help you get the support you need. We also have a dedicated Domestic Abuse Coordinator, who works closely with our Tenancy Services officers to support you.
Women and men can both be victims of domestic abuse and the abuse isn’t always physical. It can also be controlling or coercive behaviour, ‘honour’ based violence and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Find out more here.
Other support available
Safe Spaces scheme
UK SAYS NO MORE is working with various organisations to create safe spaces for anyone experiencing domestic abuse. You can access safe spaces in banks and pharmacies at more than 4,500 locations across the UK and use the space to reach out to friends and family and contact specialist support services.

The Bright Sky app is free to use and can help you to spot the signs of abuse, know how to respond, and find a safe route to support. Only download it on a device you feel safe using and that only you have access to. Click on the links below to download:
Worried about someone?
If you’re worried about a neighbour, friend or family member being a victim of domestic abuse or sexual violence, please encourage them to seek help. Share these resources with them where safe to do so, and remind them, they’re not alone and will be supported if they reach out for help.
Here for you every step of the way
Together, we firmly stand against domestic abuse and sexual violence, and no one should ever feel they have to face it alone. You can find out about all the support available to you on our dedicated webpage.
