Crossroads Derbyshire is a domestic abuse service working in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales. It aims to help families to break free from abusive relationships, recognise signs of abuse and build a safe future. It offers a domestic abuse refuge and outreach service. It provides a place of safety and its work in the community supports people to leave abusive relationships and develop the emotional and practical skills they need to improve their quality of life, build more positive relationships and live free from abuse. It has provided domestic abuse services in Derbyshire since 1979, and has operated a domestic abuse refuge since 1983. In 2018 the charity was awarded the Women's Aid Accredited Standards Level Two. The assessor described the charity's service as "exemplary".
