DonateThe Friends of SADA (FoSADA) charity was established to ensure the sustainability of the SADA (Survivors Against Domestic Abuse) service. The charity raises funds for continued service provision, as well as raising awareness of Domestic Abuse and our service profile.
The SADA service supports women, men, children and young persons that have experienced (or are experiencing) domestic violence and abuse. We work with statutory, voluntary and any other organisations to relieve the distress suffered by victims and work with statutory agencies to prevent abuse.
Having started in Stevenage, the service has slowly grown over the last few years and now supports authorities across Hertfordshire. We currently run and maintain 34 Safe Space properties to support those fleeing domestic abuse from across the country.
We offer survivors personal alarms which they can carry with them, to use if they feel unsafe or in an emergency.
We offer a video doorbell for the survivors, so they can see who is at the door and to give them some peace of mind in a time when they feel vulnerable.
Survivors often flee to safety with nothing. Safe space essentials provide a fresh start. The cost covers food, toiletries, clothes, and household items, per survivor.
SADA Safe Space Homes has an average weekly rent cost of £213.46 for our 2-bedroom family property. The service charge for the same 2-bedroom property averages £133.36 per week.
Our service relies on donations. There are many ways to get involved and support our service. You can make a donation, volunteer your time, fund an event or donate goods. You can also support us by attending upcoming fundraising events.
DonateIn the unseen ECHOES project, we embark on a profound exploration of the hidden yet profound impact of domestic abuse. Each photograph captured for unseen ECHOES tells a story beyond the words. Join us for free to celebrate the 16 Days of Action against domestic abuse. Refreshments will be available for a small donation to the Friends of SADA charity.
This will be a special Drop In day just before the Christmas break, to support all our survivors in person with some extra Christmas treats and our final catch up of support for this year.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 aims to promote awareness and foster comprehension regarding the profound harm caused by domestic abuse to both individuals and their families.
Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts are specialised in handling domestic abuse cases, providing a sensitive and tailored approach to address cases.
