Our Vision
All women and their dependents are made aware of their rights and offered choices so that they can live without the fear of domestic abuse
Independent Choices was founded in 1978 as the Women's Domestic Violence Helpline. Our services developed in the mid 1990’s into a multi-project organisation. We are based in Greater Manchester.
The focus of the work of the organisation includes the services of the Women’s Helpline including Community Helpline Language Services receiving just over 7000 calls each year and the Women’s Safety Service delivered under contract to Greater Manchester Probation Trust (GMPT).
