What is domestic abuse? 

Over 1 in 4 people (source: Women’s Aid) will experience domestic abuse between the age of 16 and 59 and the vast majority are women.

Domestic abuse can be financial, psychological, physical, emotional or sexual – and there is no excuse for it. 

Understanding the difference between domestic abuse and a healthy relationship could save someone’s life one day.

FEEDBACK

“The Freedom Programme opened my eyes to what I thought was normal but is actually abusive.”

” Safe place to share what I have experienced and not be judged.“

“The best thing about the Safe in Sussex programme was being able to talk about what has happened and being understood and listened to.“

“I have learnt not to be harsh on myself but to talk kindly to myself as if talking to a friend or child. I have come a long way!“

GET INVOLVED

Safe In Sussex receives 14% of its funding from the government. The rest is through grants, fundraising events, donations, legacies and corporate sponsorship.

Demand for our services grows every year and finding the money to fund our vital services gets tougher all the time.

We are fortunate to receive some grant funding from Children in Need, the National Lottery and local authority organisations, but we are constantly looking for new ways to attract funding.

If you would like to help us in any way please call us on 0300 333 7416 or email info@safeinsussex.org.uk.
