Domestic Alliance

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST - HOUSE OF PRAISE PARISH and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Domestic Alliance is seeking to support the victims of domestic violence in the Rochdale area. Research has stated that more than 5260 incidents of domestic violence have been reported in the borough of Rochdale between 2013 and 2013. Therefore, has been identified the highest rate of domestic violence on the scale of 1000 within Greater Manchester
Domestic Alliance is a project of our Church, House of Praise. This project is designed to help and reduce the domestic violence victims who are young mothers and teenagers in Rochdale and surroundings.

We are very passionate about this project as each week at least two women are killed by their current or former partner (NewDVStrategy, 2013). Our vision is to be a safe place where victims can come to and get the help and support, they need.
Domestic alliance came around when our church House Of praise has been getting a lot younger visitors who are victims of domestic violence. These victims come from different backgrounds and all stated that they came to us because they did not want to feel like a number when seeking for help. They have come to us seeking for help and guidance to turn their life back around and to find a different path to walk on.
Getting to know our members on a personal level and getting to know their needs and life, we have concluded that a lot of people around us are dealing with domestic violence and are in need of structured help. We have been helping individuals with the following.

With your help we want to make the following available to a wider group of domestic violence victims in our Rochdale area.
• Safeguarding
Domestic Alliance will support and encourage victims to take the ownership of their life back. We will help the victims to get out of the domestic violence environment before more harm will be done. Domestic alliance will help protecting the victims by supporting them reporting any type of abuse. The most important part is for these young mothers to take accountability of their position as a mother to make sure her children are safe and happy.
• Helping victims getting back on their feet:
Give the victims Life coaching sessions, by giving them one to one session’s to understand what we need to do do to help this victim.
Helping our victims getting (back) into school. We have had situations where victims dropped out of school or where their children were not attending school as they did not feel safe.
Getting the victims (back) into work. A lot of victims are not working as they do not have the resources or have no idea, they do have the skills to be a valuable asset for a company to grow.
• Accommodation
Helping who do not have a stable place to life with finding accommodation for themselves and their children. We will help them with the deposit for a house if needed. Therefore, will happen if these victims are a part of our programme to get back on their feet.
To get back on their feet we will provide training and pre employability courses to make sure they are ready to get into work and able to maintain their Job.
• Aftercare
We will provide after care to the victims. We will help them budgeting to make sure they are stable and paying their bills. Making sure they are maintaining their job and answer any queries they may have. We will also encourage them not to get back into a situation where domestic violence can occur again.
Domestic alliance will have a 24/7 emergency phone line. House of praise will have a weekly domestic Alliance class where victims can get together and give their testimonies.




Therefore, House of praise has put together our Domestic alliance project. With this project we can have a great impact on our community to help changing individual’s lives with your help.
