Volunteering for the Beaver Scouts

Volunteering at Stop Domestic Abuse

  • As part of an optional volunteering module for my Criminology degree, I volunteered at Stop Domestic Abuse, a charity that supports victims of domestic abuse including providing safe housing, counseling and legal assistance. I chose to volunteer in order to gain insight into how a refuge operates and how it affects victims. I would often sit in meetings, assist with paper work and help when someone would move in.
