A RADIO campaign is urging Lancashire victims of domestic abuse to seek help this Christmas.
The advert, to be aired across the county, hears a young child speaking about how he likes to give his mother flowers at Christmas, but that the only way he can do this is to put them on her grave.
The shocking message, which highlights the potential-deadly consequences of domestic abuse, urges victims not to suffer in silence.
Detective Superintendent Ian Critchley, Lancashire Police’s head of public protection, said: “At this time of year, we traditionally see a rise in domestic violence, as families spend prolonged periods of time together and alcohol flows more freely.
“We want victims to know that help is available. We will do everything we can to protect you, and your family.”
