With your support, we can make families safer, sooner.

Make a donation to SafeLives

Each year, more than two million people in the UK experience domestic abuse. No one should live in fear. It is not acceptable, not inevitable, and together – we can make it stop.

Make a donation to SafeLives today and help us end domestic abuse, for everyone and for good.

There are many ways to make a donation – you can donate online, by text, when you shop and in memory of a loved one. A one-off gift can make a real difference to those living with domestic abuse in the UK.
