Today, we’re raising awareness of the support available to men in Derbyshire who are affected by domestic abuse.
Recent data from the Office for National Statistics shows that 1 in 5 men in England and Wales have experienced domestic abuse in their lifetime, yet only around 5% of male victims access local specialist support. Abuse can take many forms – including physical, emotional, psychological, coercive control, and economic abuse.
If you’re affected, or know someone who is, please don’t stay silent.
Support is available 24/7 from the Derbyshire Domestic Abuse Helpline, where trained advisors can speak with you discreetly and offer both emotional and practical support.

With the run-up to the festive season, we want residents and visitors to enjoy all that Derbyshire has to offer, but we also see more road traffic injuries and collisions on our roads and in our communities.
That’s why in November, we're shining a spotlight on the right choices that help you get home safely after going out drinking, without the risk of drink driving.
The Don't Risk the Drive campaign is all about working with drinks brands and partners to raise awareness of planning ahead, and the ever increasing availability of 0% alternatives, making it easier to enjoy your drinks, day or night, and still make it home safely.
Here’s some practical ideas of how you can plan ahead:
🚌 🚆 Check public transport options ahead of time.
Whether it be bus or train – check the timetables and plan your route.
🚕 Taxi sorted? Night sorted.
Know your local taxi number or make sure the app is downloaded and signed in. Remember, on busy nights, you might be waiting a while, so pre-book if you can.
🦸 Arrange a lift – call in a favour from a friend or family member to come and pick you up.
🍹 All the fun, none of the risk – nominate a designated driver for the night.
0% and soft drink options let you stay in control and in the moment.
🛏️ Plan to stay over – book a hotel or stay at a mate’s. It’s a safer way to end the night.
Throughout the month, we’ll be showcasing how local partners are working together to remove the need to drink and drive. Because getting home safely should never be a gamble.
📅 Follow along for tips, stories, and resources to help you make the right call, every time.
