IDAS is the largest specialist charity in Yorkshire supporting anyone experiencing or affected by domestic abuse or sexual violence.
Our services include refuge accommodation, community based support, peer mentoring, group work and access to a free, confidential out of hours’ helpline.
Our teams of accredited specialist workers (IDVA’s and ISVAs) support people through the criminal justice system in addition to providing emotional support and safety planning advice.
We recognise that most victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence are women and we provide a number of single sex services such as refuges to women and their children. However, the majority of our services are accessible to anyone who is affected by abuse and we encourage male and LGBT+ victims and survivors to access our support.
