Coventry Haven is in association with Women’s Aid, which aims to support the survivors of domestic violence in the local Coventry and Warwickshire area. The charity provides a crucial place of refuge for victims and children, as well as tireless work to raise awareness for the different types of domestic abuse. These include: forced marriage, honour based violence and female genital mutilation, as well as physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse. At Warwick Mixed Hockey Club, we believe that any form of abuse is unacceptable, and thus this year we will aim to support the survivors as well as focus on early intervention in order to prevent people from having to experience this.
