About Compassion
Compassion supports all survivors of domestic abuse-both current and historic- by providing vital information, advice and a comprehensive range of telephone, online and face-to-face services.
We exist to break the silence surrounding domestic abuse and coercive controlling behaviour.
Through targeted interventions and high-impact awareness campaigns, we shine a light on this complex issue to drive lasting societal change.
Our Aim
Our aim is to raise awareness and deepen the understanding of domestic violence and abuse both locally and nationally. We actively develop, coordinate and promote best practices to make domestic abuse legally, socially, morally and culturally unacceptable.
Our Team & Governance
Compassion is run by a dedicated core team of professionals, qualified facilitators, sessional staff and volunteers, proudly supported by our Board of Trustees.
Our Background
Compassion was established in September 2001, originally serving the Babergh District Council area as a multi-agency forum dedicated to bring domestic abuse issues to the forefront. As our impact grew, we officially transitioned to a registered charity in July 2014.
This September we Proudly mark 25 years of continuous service, leadership and professional support within the Suffolk community.
Throughout our history, our focus has remained steadfast: developing high-quality local resources for those who have experienced domestic abuse and working collaboratively to improve local responses. This unwavering commitment to excellence has earned Compassion high regard from fellow professionals throughout the sector.
