Charity of the Year 2008
Perpetuity are pleased to announce the Domestic Violence Integrated Response Project (DVIRP) as the charity we will be supporting in 2008.
DVIRP offer telephone and face to face support for those who have been affected by Domestic Violence.
We are finding that the issue of 'managing radicalisation and extremism' is cropping up on our clients' agendas. In a few projects we are involved with it is clear that the need to respond sensitively and imaginatively is becoming all the more important.
We would be interested in hearing from you if you have managed this issue or have any progressive thoughts on the topic. Please call Martin Gill on 0116 222 5566 or email m.gill@perpetuitygroup.com.
