SafeLives
SafeLives works with the Government and organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse (DA) – a pervasive and complex issue that over 2 million people in the UK experience each year. The charity has a track record for innovating and placing victims of abuse at the heart of its approach. It holds the largest dataset on DA in the UK and is the leading single provider of specialised DA training.
Thanks to the Garfield Weston Foundation’s support, we’re reaching more professionals and communities with the tools they need to prevent, intervene and respond effectively to DA. Together, we’re making sure every adult and child affected by abuse gets the right help, at the right time – no matter how they are or where they live. Your support helps us to find what works and help it happen, and we’re grateful for your belief in this mission.
SafeLives aims to continue to influence large-scale systemic change and clearly communicated their priority areas in their application. The charity has a varied range of income sources, however, like most charities, requires unrestricted funding to adapt to need. The charity was clear about its future strategy, and the Trustees were happy to support the charity’s important work.
