NIDAS are a small, friendly and independent local charity working across Mansfield and Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. We offer a family based approach for people who are living with or have experienced any form of domestic violence or abuse. We have a team of highly experienced and qualified workers who have supported 1,000’s of families to live a life free from harm.
If you or anyone you know needs some advice, support and guidance then please get in touch with us. We’re here to listen and know how hard it is to make that first contact but we will be waiting for when the time is right…
We are not a crisis support service, instead we focus on intervention and prevention at the earliest stage possible enabling families to live healthy, happy and safe lives. If you require immediate support, please contact the following for advice:
Nottinghamshire 24 hour freephone helpline: 0808 800 0340
We help children and young people understand what healthy relationships look and feel like and aim to build their confidence and self esteem
