About

Our Community Drop-In gives you the opportunity to talk directly with the Somerset Domestic Abuse Service. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a member of staff who can support and guide you.

The sessions are entirely led by what that person needs, it could be that the individual may just want some phone numbers, but primarily it’s going to be for those who wish to start a conversation

For example:

This is what is happening to me, what can/should I do?

Help and support at our central hub

Help and support for people experiencing domestic abuse is available by phoning our central hub, open 8am to 8pm seven days, on 0800 69 49 999

It is also open for the public to get in person support, every Thursday between 5pm to 8pm as of the first week in May 2023.

Address: The Abbey, Preston Road, Yeovil BA20 2EN (Free parking)

We ask people to phone 0800 6949 999 and select option 2 before you come along to let us know to expect you, and to get directions.
