Domestic Abuse: Be a part of ending it

The Mid Suffolk Domestic Abuse Forum, a group of local residents and professionals who are committed to providing service to victims and survivors of domestic abuse, is looking for a new chair person to help organise and fundraise for the forum.

Organising conferences, supplying material and supporting front line delivery services, the Mid Suffolk Domestic Forum strives to reduce the occurrence of domestic abuse in Mid Suffolk.

The group has been meeting actively since April 2009 and is currently chaired by John Spitzer, the Community Safety Manger at Mid Suffolk District Council. The group organised its first conference in 2009 with the theme of “A journey through the legal system”. In 2010, the theme was “Under-represented Groups”. The conferences were free and attracted national organisations and speakers. The Forum has also supported the Freedom Programme and MARACs.

John Spitzer, Community Safety Manager at Mid Suffolk District Council said: “This would be the perfect situation for a dynamic individual who is passionate about helping others and putting an end to domestic abuse.”

If you are interested in becoming the new chairperson, or would like to find out further information, please contact John Spitzer at 01449 724646 or john.spitzer@midsuffolk.gov.uk

If you would like to attend the group or volunteer to be the chair, the next meeting of the Forum is at 2pm on September 8 2011.
