A pilot programme preventing domestic abuse will soon expand across the Bristol region after receiving a £1.2m funding boost.
The Drive Project has been challenging the behaviour of high-risk domestic abuse perpetrators in South Gloucestershire since 2021.
Over the past two years the Drive Project has reduced reoffending rates of domestic abuse perpetrators, after intensive one-to-one interventions. The programme will now expand to Bristol and North Somerset too after the government increased its funding for the work.
