About Eve
Our Founder
“It was my own experience of domestic abuse, which prompted me to take this role on. My ex is now serving 23 years for which he will have to serve the full sentence. That justice encouraged me to complete a criminology degree writing my dissertation on the causations around male violence against women. My vision is to make an impact within Merseyside and help educate children about domestic abuse, help build self-esteem and educate on how their behaviour may be abusive“
