England kicked off their World Cup campaign in style last night. But while many were celebrating the win, did you know that research has found reports of domestic abuse increase during matches:

⚽ 26% when England win or draw
⚽ 38% when England lose

While football does not cause domestic abuse, existing abuse can become more severe or frequent during major tournaments.

Behind every statistic is a person who may need support.,

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, you are not alone. At whg, we can help you understand your options, access specialist support and discuss additional safety measures if needed.

📞 In an emergency, always call 999.

During the school holidays, you may notice more noise or activity in your neighbourhood 🏡

Children playing outside, or the odd party or BBQ, are a normal part of community life ⚽

But if you experience behaviour which makes you feel unsafe or threatened, it may be antisocial behaviour (ASB).

You can report ASB to us by signing in or signing up and go to ‘My neighbourhood’.

We will respond to all high risk ASB within one working day and investigate all other ASB within five working days.

🚨 If you believe a crime is being committed, or if somebody has been threatened or assaulted please report it to the police immediately.
