Domestic abuse is linked to poverty as a cause as well as an effect. We are aware that women and single mums are disproportionately affected by poverty. Many people are unaware of the ways that the coexistence of poverty and domestic violence can: worsen the effects of the abuse; result in a significant loss of resources for the survivor; and reduce the likelihood of positive outcomes for the survivor. Being impoverished prolongs the victim's imprisonment in the abusive cycle and frequently makes the process of trying to escape more difficult. Survivors, their children, and our communities are put at even greater risk when poverty and domestic abuse coexist. One of our charitable aims is the alleviation of poverty. Whilst the Uniformity Project will not directly prevent domestic abuse, as preventing domestic abuse requires addressing several societal, cultural and personal variables, it can help foster more secure and engaging neighbourhoods, which may help reduce incidents of domestic abuse in a number of ways: Community Engagement Education And Awareness Positive Community Norms Recycling uniform programs often involve community engagement and awareness. By fostering a sense of community, individuals may feel more connected and supported, which can contribute to the overall well-being of community members. Uniformity will also provide volunteer opportunities for those rebuilding their lives from the effects of domestic abuse. We can expand on educational awareness to include information on interpersonal relationships, communication skills, and resources available for those experiencing domestic abuse. Increasing awareness about domestic abuse can help reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek help. Engaging in positive, community-wide activities like The Uniformity Project can help establish and reinforce positive social norms. Creating an environment that values respect, cooperation, and non-violence can contribute to a culture where domestic abuse is less tolerated.

AIM Northwest was founded in 2020 by survivors of domestic abuse Catherine Prince and Kerry Bamber. As colleagues and friends, Cath and Kerry had a shared passion and drive to make a difference for those affected by domestic abuse. Their vision was to establish a charity that tackles domestic abuse, where ‘ALL INDIVIDUALS MATTER’. Our Story AIM Northwest was founded in 2020 by survivors of domestic abuse Catherine Prince and Kerry Bamber. As colleagues and friends, Cath and Kerry had a shared passion and drive to make a difference for those affected by domestic abuse. Their vision was to establish a charity that tackles domestic abuse, where ‘ALL INDIVIDUALS MATTER’. Men, women and children, whether they be victims or perpetrators. These are the foundation values on which AIM Northwest was created. Kerry has for the last 3 years continued to dedicate her time to the growth and development of AIM Northwest. Read her inspirational story below kerry's story Kerry's Story "I was a strong character, 20 years old and in love for the first time." As soon as I fell pregnant, everything changed. I suddenly became his property. He told me what I could and could not do, who I could and could not see, until eventually I wasn't allowed to see anyone at all. I became completely isolated. I wasn't allowed to work or have my own money. He made me feel dependent on him and utterly worthless. The abuse was both physical and emotional. Over time, I became a shadow of the person I once was. Despite coming from a loving and supportive family, I felt trapped and unable to see a way out. I remember spending a night at Leigh bus station while heavily pregnant after he threw me out of our flat. I was too ashamed to tell my friends or family what was happening or what my life had become. Domestic abuse is a very lonely place. Our Vision To live life free from abuse or abusing Our Mission To provide intervention support for families affected by domestic abuse. Including the abused, abuser and affected children.
