Our Story
Established in 2010, for its first six years, the charity was run by a small team of volunteers, providing advice on HBA and harmful practices to frontline professionals and raising public awareness.
In 2016, its first major grant by the Big Lottery fund allowed the charity to set up its direct intervention team, directly helping survivors and those at risk to leave abusive environments.
“We have helped more than 1,000 people across the UK. We now have data that shows these issues are present and recognition, identification and response has greatly improved – but there is still a long way to go.”
– Afrah Qassim, Founder and CEO of Savera UK
