Welcome to Compassion
Supporting those who have experienced domestic abuse to rise with strength
What We Do
Compassion supports all victims of domestic abuse, both current and historic, providing information/ advice and a range of support services over the phone, online and face to face. We exist to end domestic abuse through the interventions we offer to victims and through awareness raising campaigns and initiatives. Domestic abuse will only thrive in silence and darkness, we are here to talk about it and shine a light on this complex issue that affects every one of us. As a charity we rely heavily on donations and the tireless work of our volunteers, who give their time freely to deliver programmes and run our range of support services. This commitment has driven Compassion forward and earned us high regard from other professionals within the field of domestic abuse services.
Our Aim
To raise awareness and understanding about all aspects of domestic violence and abuse nationally and locally. We work to develop and promote good practice to make domestic abuse legally, socially, morally and culturally unacceptable.
Our Background
Compassion was founded in 2001. As an independent, multi-agency forum we worked alongside other forums to raise awareness of domestic violence and abuse related issues. We are now a registered charity with the Charity Commission. It has always been important, to us to develop local resources for those who have experienced domestic abuse as well as influence policy and agency response within our local area. With these aims in mind, we bring new support initiatives through our local services and work with the County Domestic Abuse Forum, informing policy decisions related to domestic abuse within Suffolk. As a charity we rely heavily on donations and the tireless work of our volunteers, who give their time freely to deliver programmes and run our range of support services. This commitment has driven Compassion forward and earned us high regard from other professionals within the field of domestic abuse services.
