PDVG is a registered charity that provides support, advice, information and safe accommodation to anyone effected by or experiencing domestic abuse.

PDVG has been in operation delivering a range of specialist domestic abuse services in Kirklees since 2002 when two long standing domestic abuse services merged.  Huddersfield Womens Aid which had been in operation since 1975 and Kirklees Asian and Black Womens Welfare Association which had also been operating services in Huddersfield for over 10 years.
