North Wales Police has partnered with Amazon as part of a national initiative to provide emergency support to survivors of domestic abuse.

As part of the scheme, Amazon has donated grab bags filled with essential items for adults and children who have fled abusive situations. The bags include toiletries, writing materials, a mobile phone and comfort items to offer immediate relief and dignity.

The bags will be kept at police stations across the North Wales force area and handed to people who have left their homes suddenly with no belongings.

Inspector Laura Salisbury-Jones, Tactical Delivery Manager for Violence Against Women and Girls, said: “We sincerely appreciate Amazon’s generous contribution.

“This initiative provides vital support to individuals who have had to flee abusive situations, often leaving everything behind. The grab bags offer more than essential supplies—they send a powerful message that survivors are seen, valued, and not alone.

“We recognise that coming forward to report abuse can be an incredibly daunting step. Our message to anyone experiencing domestic abuse is clear: you are not alone. Please reach out to the police, and we will work closely with trusted safeguarding partners to ensure you receive the protection and care you deserve.”

North Wales Police said the donation significantly enhances its ability to provide compassionate and practical support to survivors in crisis.

For more information or to report domestic abuse, visit the North Wales Police website or call 101. In an emergency, always dial 999.
