Thrive Domestic Abuse Services

For almost 40 years, Thrive Women’s Aid has provided a haven for women, children and young people in Neath Port Talbot, helping them to rebuild their lives and regain their independence in safe communities. We provide emergency accommodation, community based services, access to support groups and therapeutic interventions, a specialist children and young people service, as well as training and employment opportunities. Our mission is to prevent abuse from occurring, provide safe and trusted interventions when abuse does occur and enable individuals to progress from the trauma they have faced in order to build successful independent lives. We don’t just help and support women in need, we help the whole family to thrive to ensure the cycle of abuse is broken for good. Our aim is to encourage, enable and empower, as we believe that, given the right resources, everyone has the strength and capability to achieve, no matter how hard their circumstances.

We’re proud to share our latest Impact Report, highlighting the difference Thrive Domestic Abuse Services has made over the past year.

This Sexual Health Week, we’re supporting “Let’s Connect” a week focused on the importance of meaningful connection.

Connection is an important part of healthy relationships, and feeling connected should mean feeling respected, heard and safe to be yourself. It should never come at the expense of your boundaries, independence or sense of self.

As part of our recently launched “Now I See It” campaign, made possible with funding from Rosa, we’re helping young people recognise what healthy relationships look like and identify behaviours that can become controlling, isolating or abusive.

This Sexual Health Week, we’re joining the conversation about what healthy connection really looks like and how we can build relationships based on trust, respect and healthy boundaries.

Domestic abuse can have a profound and lasting impact on a person’s mental health and wellbeing. The fear, coercive control, isolation and uncertainty experienced by those living with abuse can have serious and far-reaching consequences.

There is a significant link between domestic abuse, poor mental health and su***de. For some people, the ongoing impact of abuse can contribute to feelings of hopelessness and entrapment, increasing the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviours.

We must recognise these connections and ensure that people experiencing domestic abuse have access to safe, compassionate and appropriate support.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, you can contact us at:

We’re looking for new Board Members!

Would you like to use your skills and experience to help make a real difference to the lives of people affected by domestic abuse?

We’re looking to expand our Board of Trustees and are seeking a range of skills, experience and perspectives to help shape the future of our charity.

We are particularly keen to hear from someone with financial experience who could take on the role of Treasurer.

This is an opportunity to bring your knowledge, passion and commitment to a cause that matters and help us continue providing vital support to those affected by domestic abuse.

Please note: Board members must commit to attending one board meeting every quarter, in person, at our Port Talbot office.

These meetings are essential to the role and must be attended in person. Candidates should therefore be able to make this regular in-person commitment before applying.

For more information and applications, please contact Alison Stokes at [email protected] 📩

September marks Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, break the silence and remind people that they do not have to face their struggles alone.

Sometimes, a simple conversation can be the first step towards hope. This month, we are reminding people to check in, listen and be there for those who may be going through one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available:
- Samaritans: Call 116 123
- SHOUT: Text SHOUT to 85258
- NHS 111: Call 111 and select option 2 to access a 24/7 helpline offering urgent mental health support.

Every conversation matters.
