A local authority has set up a project to enable the survivors of domestic abuse to help shape its housing services

Hillingdon Council's Amplifying Survivor Voices project, launched on 29th July, will establish a dedicated 12-member survivor advisory panel, giving participants a safe and supportive way to share their experiences and influence enhancements to services.  It aims to ensure survivors are involved with shaping future policies, scrutinising performance and identifying opportunities to further improve the support available for vulnerable residents.  The project, which has received a £120,000 grant from the government's Social Housing Innovation Fund, will be delivered with support from Solace Women's Aid.
