🚨 Why does the justice system put an expiration date on a survivor's safety? 🚨
Please take a moment to sign this petition🙏

​Right now, protective court orders often only last a short period of time. When they run out, the danger doesn't just disappear—but the protection does. This forces survivors into an exhausting, traumatic cycle of repeatedly going to court just to keep a basic shield of safety in place. We need long-term protection, not temporary fixes. Please read my story below, sign, and share this vital petition to change the law:

If this petition gets 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate in Parliament, let's make it happen 🙏
Petition: Automatic extension for Non- Molestation order when it is breached

The Government should change the law so that Non-Molestation Orders must be automatically extended where an abuser has breached the order and been convicted. Victims should not be forced to relive trauma through further statements and court hearings to prove an already established danger.

If you can today, why not use your lunch break to step outside for a slow, unhurried walk? Today is —a day dedicated to clearing your mind, breathing deeply, and taking life at your own pace.

​But we know that for many people across Suffolk, the simple freedom to just "saunter" doesn't exist.

​When you are living with coercive control, your time, your movements, and your freedom are dictated by someone else. You are constantly walking on eggshells, scanning for danger, and unable to truly relax or enjoy a moment of peace.

​Abuse steals your freedom, but you don't have to stay trapped.

​At Compassion, we help survivors break free from control so they can safely reclaim their lives, their independence, and their own pace. If you don't feel safe or free in your own life, we are here for you.

Today is , a day often associated with affection, romance, and love.
​But for many people in Suffolk, physical affection isn't a symbol of safety—it’s weaponized. In an abusive or coercively controlling relationship, moments of closeness are often used to manipulate, drop a victim's guard, or make up after an outburst, only for the cycle of control to start all over again.
​Healthy affection should not come with conditions, strings, or fear.
​If your relationship feels like a constant emotional rollercoaster, you don't have to navigate it alone. Compassion is here to provide safe, confidential support. Safe affection shouldn’t leave a scar.

Today is the International Day for Countering Hate Speech. While we often think of hate speech as something that happens out in public or on social media comment sections, the reality is that for many people in Suffolk, it happens behind closed doors.
​In relationships, hateful language, constant belittling, and digital harassment are tools of domestic abuse and coercive control. It’s an invisible cruelty designed to isolate victims and erode their self-esteem.
​At Compassion, we counter that hostility with exactly what our name promises: deep empathy, safe support, and the tools to help survivors rise with strength. You do not have to accept abuse as your normal.
​If your partner’s words are making you feel unsafe, small, or afraid, you are not alone. Local, confidential help is right here in Suffolk.
