October is #DomesticAbuseAwarenessMonth and we're sharing Jemma's story to help raise awareness of the realities of domestic abuse and help people recognise behaviours that may otherwise be overlooked, minimised or explained away.

Jemma is a victim-survivor of coercive control and now runs domestic abuse charity @phoenixhealingcic 💜

Coercive and controlling behaviour can be difficult to identify, but it is often at the heart of domestic abuse and can have a devastating impact on those experiencing it.

By speaking openly about her experiences, Jemma is helping to shine a light on the warning signs and red flags of Domestic Abuse, encouraging others to recognise unhealthy behaviours, seek support and know that they are not alone 🤝

📍Listen to part of Jemma's story to learn more about the red flags of domestic abuse. To watch the full video, get information, advice or support for yourself or someone you care about, visit www.merseyside.police.uk/vawg and select the ‘Domestic abuse red flags’ page.

"Give me the full name and date of birth of everyone you live with."

That is a real vetting question, and it is why a random house share isn't an option for a lot of key workers.

You can't just answer an ad and move in with strangers. Some of us have to declare everyone we live with and get permission. Then there is the other problem: housemates who don't understand why you're asleep at 2pm after a night shift.

I built Project Brooklands because I lived this. Everyone in the house is a key worker, vetted before they move in, so nobody has to explain themselves.

Tag a colleague who has had to explain their housemates to vetting 👇

Most people ask where their money will grow fastest. Wrong question.

The better one: what do you actually want it to be part of.

Every pound behind Black Flamingo Homes goes into something real. A building you could actually walk into. Key workers who finally have somewhere stable to live around shift work that doesn't make sense to anyone who's never done it.

Project Brooklands is home #1. It won't be the last.

This isn't charity and it isn't a spreadsheet — it's a growing business built around housing the people who show up for the rest of us: police, fire, ambulance, NHS, teachers, prison officers.

New to this kind of thing? Already got money sitting somewhere and wondering if it could be doing more? Either way, I'd genuinely like to talk to you.

DM me 'INVEST' and I'll tell you what backing BFH actually looks like.

🚩📱 “It’s Not That Deep”... is it?

Young people across #Merseyside are being challenged to spot the red flags in everyday online interactions as part of a new youth-led campaign tackling tech-enabled abuse.

Created with young people, for young people, the campaign highlights how behaviours often dismissed as “banter”, “relationship drama” or “not that deep” can actually be harmful, abusive or even criminal.

This morning’s launch event took place at @stjulieswoolton and their pupils along with pupils from Belvedere Academy took part in an interactive session, watched campaign films based on real-life online scenarios and raised red flags when they identified behaviour they believed is concerning.
 @merseysideya and @merseysidevrp were also in attendance, along with our Online Child Abuse Investigation Team and our Safer Schools Officers.

Through powerful real-life scenarios and honest discussions, the campaign explores issues including:

🔴 Persistent unwanted contact 🔴 Sharing intimate images without consent 🔴 Cyberstalking 🔴 Online grooming 🔴 Sextortion 🔴 Deepfakes

‘It’s Not That Deep’ is the sixth phase of ours and the @merseysidepcc ‘Taking Action’ campaign, which tackles Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and aims to improve understanding of criminal and harmful behaviours amongst young people.

The message is simple: trust your intuition, use your voice and talk to someone you trust.

We are SO proud of the young Balance community we are building 🥹

It’s so much more than just a class. We want to create a space where young girls feel safe, supported, confident and most importantly, have the chance to learn what a healthy, balanced lifestyle really looks like.

Being able to collaborate with other amazing people and businesses means we can keep expanding the knowledge and experiences we offer our young people, giving them even more opportunities to learn, grow and try new things.

Building a healthy relationship with movement from a young age is SO important. We give them the confidence, knowledge and tools to carry this mindset with them long after they leave their teenage years. 🤍

A huge thank you our incredible funders for allowing us to make events like this FREE for our young people. Your support means we can continue creating spaces like this and making movement accessible to them. 🫶🏽✨

This is only the beginning of our Balance Kid & Teens community… 🥹🤍
