To foster safe support for survivors of domestic abuse and gender-based violence who are part of a faith community through training and resources.
Our Vision
Understanding that faith can impact people’s experiences of domestic abuse and that there is a need for faith informed support.
What is Domestic Abuse?
Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviour where one person controls their partner, ex-partner or family member through different kinds of abuse. In the UK, one in four women and one in six men experience domestic abuse during their lifetime.

Signposting Toolkit for churches and faith leaders
This domestic abuse signposting toolkit has information about different kinds of support available for victims and survivors. People require very different kinds of support depending on their situation, identity and where they are on their journey to safety and recovery. This toolkit will guide you through the options available.
We also have workshops to help you learn more about faith-literate supports for victims and survivors of domestic abuse and gender-based violence.
