LIDAS exists to provide advice and support to women men  and their children who are experiencing or fleeing domestic abuse by providing safe accommodation and practical and emotional advice and support via the refuges, advice centre, outreach and floating support services.

In addition to the core service we will work with partners to campaign politically, educate society in general and develop services to respond to existing domestic abuse and minimise the impact of domestic abuse in the future.

The Management Committee have set the following objectives for the 2012/13 financial year;

• To consolidate the role of the manager and identify future funding to secure this post
• To revise policies and procedures in line with the changes to service provision
• To continue to develop services for male victims of domestic abuse
•  To consider the development of services to work with people who are expressing the wish to change their behaviour
• To pursue funding to continue to manage the  county wide IDVA service
• To change the organisations name and constitution to reflect the changes to the service
