Lincoln Integrated Domestic Abuse Services exists for the benefit of women men and children who experience abuse within a domestic relationship.

Our service is offered to women men and children from all backgrounds, whatever their age, ability, nationality, class, race, sexual orientation or religion.

Our outreach service covers the areas in and around Lincoln.

LIDAS offers safe, emergency, temporary accommodation and support to any woman – with or without children – experiencing domestic abuse.

We are against all forms of abuse of women men and children whether the abuse is: physical, verbal, psychological, emotional, sexual, financial.

LIDAS defines domestic abuse, as a domestic relationship  you might have with a partner, whether you are married to them or not. It is also the relationships between relatives, parent and child, brothers and sisters, or it can be the relationship you have with anyone else in your household

In recent months Lincoln Women’s Aid has undergone significant changes. It has changed its identity, has improved its internal infra structure and has widened the service delivery remit to including providing a gender neutral outreach service, more structured group work for men women and children and new incentives and service delivery methods, including working with those who are worried about their abusive behaviours.

Our new identity, Lincoln Integrated Domestic Abuse services (LIDAS) has also adopted a small
charity KADA, (Kids Against Domestic Abuse) which plays an important part in our future plans. KADA was developed for children and young people by young people and includes education, awareness and support of children by other children and young people
