The North East Domestic Abuse Project hosted by Victim Support is a regional development project working to improve services for victim/survivors of domestic violence and abuse in lesbian, gay, bisexual and or trans (LGB and/or T) relationships. Professor Catherine Donovan was a founding member of the working group that secured funding for this project and has been a steering group member ever since it was launched in 2010.
