Football does not cause Domestic Abuse!

Football does not cause domestic abuse, it should be a sport for us all to enjoy.

However, a  study in 2014 by Lancashire showed that reports of Domestic Abuse reported to the police increased by 38% when England lost a match, interestingly it rose by 26% if England won or drew the match as opposed to when they were not playing.

Unfortunately at Lighthouse we know perpetrators can use the result of a match as an excuse to abuse their victims and we want to ensure that you get the support you need. If you are affected by domestic abuse please contact us to get the help you need.
