We are motivated by the fact that as individuals working together we can affect positive and lasting change within society
We want to live in a world free from violence and abuse where everyone is treated with respect.
We appreciate responsiveness and adaptability, trying new approaches and encouraging others to do the same.
We use our expert skill and competence, endeavour to achieve the highest standards and are honest and principled.
As a second tier charity, our clients are other service providers so the information here is intended primarily for professionals whether you're a frontline worker, a policy officer or have strategic responsibilities.
You'll find lots of information on this website such as the services we offer our various projects, information about training and events as well as lots of information about what's going on in the sector and resources for you to download.
You'll also notice our related projects on the right-hand side, these are projects for whom we provide technical support: GLADA Women's Voices and the national LGBT Domestic Abuse Forum and a separate website, which is an on-line database of information and resources to help local areas implement the Co-ordinated Community response to Domestic Violence.
