Working towards a safer World Cup in West Sussex

This summer, West Sussex County Council will be supporting the co-ordination of a Safer World Cup campaign.

We are working with partners across the night‑time economy to help prevent domestic abuse and violence against women and girls, and to promote safer social spaces during the tournament.

A key strand of this work is the rollout of bystander/upstander training, delivered in partnership with Lifecentre, to venues across the district.

The training supports staff to recognise early warning signs of inappropriate, harmful or escalating behaviour and to take safe, confident action to prevent harm.

It focuses on practical, proportionate interventions that are realistic in busy night‑time economy settings and reinforces that small actions, taken early, can make a real difference.

This activity is being delivered alongside wider partnership work, including engagement with venue managers, licensing, community safety, and VAWG partners including Sussex Police, to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach.

The Safer World Cup campaign is about shared responsibility — working together to ensure that celebrations remain positive, inclusive and safe for everyone.

Both our offices will be closed for staff training on Thursday 11th June.

As excitement builds for the upcoming World Cup, it’s important to remember that for many families, major football tournaments can also bring increased risk of domestic abuse. Research shows incidents of domestic abuse rise during football competitions - whether a team wins or loses.

Football should unite communities, not place anyone in fear behind closed doors. As fans, friends, neighbours, and families, we all have a role to play in recognising the signs of abuse and speaking out against violence.

Enjoy the game. Respect each other. No excuse for abuse.

Fear lives behind closed doors,

Be the key to unlock it

Every day at My Sisters’ House Women’s Centre, we meet women who have survived experiences no one should ever have to endure. Abuse rarely begins with violence. It often starts quietly - small put downs, controlling behaviour, a gradual erosion of confidence. Over time, fear replaces certainty, and isolation becomes normal.

By the time many women reach our door, they feel frightened, alone, and unsure how they can keep themselves safe.

In 2025, we supported 1,880 clients and the need for our services continues to grow.

That’s why your support matters.

In 2025, we supported 1,880 clients - a 5% increase from 2024 - and the need for our services continues to grow.

Every ticket you buy helps ensure that when a woman reaches her breaking point, someone is there:

• to listen

• to believe her

• to help her take the next step towards safety

Your support helps us keep our doors open.

It helps a woman find safety. It helps unlock the door to a new beginning.

Here are a few of the prizes you could win:

Goodwood Revival Tickets
A Clothkits Workshop
Cinema tickets and lots more!

We’re delighted to share that My Sisters’ House Women’s Centre has achieved SafeLives Leading Lights accreditation.

For us, Leading Lights represents far more than a quality mark. It is meaningful recognition of the way we work and the values that shape our services every day. The accreditation reflects not only strong and effective processes, but also the survivor-led, trauma-informed culture we have intentionally built—one rooted in dignity, respect and safety.

Achieving this accreditation reassures us that our First Response and Domestic Abuse services meet nationally recognised standards while continuing to respond to the needs of women in our local community. It is also a significant achievement for our team, recognising their expertise, compassion and unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality support, often in challenging circumstances.
