Safe Lives

We are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good.  

At SafeLives, we provide research, training and support to frontline domestic abuse services and professionals -  we are not a domestic abuse service providing direct support to people experiencing abuse. 

We work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse. We want what you would want for your best friend. We listen to survivors, putting their voices at the heart of our thinking. We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well. And we challenge perpetrators to change, asking ‘why doesn’t he stop?’ rather than ‘why doesn’t she leave?’ This applies whatever the gender of the victim or perpetrator and whatever the nature of their relationship.
