It is with huge sadness that Survive announces its closure on 30th April 2018 after 44 years of dedicated service in the domestic abuse field. We are however pleased to announce that our frontline staff and vital services for children and young people will be transferring to Julian House on 1^st May 2018.

Please read our press statement below for further information.

May we also take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us. Whilst we recognise this is a sad time for Survive, we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved. We have been honoured to work with so many amazing women and children over the years. We wish you all the very best for the future.

Press release 23.04.18

A very proud day at Survive today as three of our staff receive awards from the South Gloucestershire Partnership Against Domestic Abuse.

Our dedicated Family Support Worker Aly Vernon received the prestigious Ann Wood Award for her Outstanding Contribution to Tackling Domestic Abuse.

Rebecca Twydell (Family Support Worker) and Sarah Telford (CEO) received Excellence in Practice awards.

Survive delivers vital preventative work to ensure that those children and young people in our communities, affected by Domestic Violence, have the help and support they need.  Survive has the reputation of an innovative specialist charity working towards freedom from domestic abuse for children, young people and families in South Gloucestershire and Bristol. As a well-established charity we offer practical and emotional support, information and education for children and young people who are experiencing or have experienced domestic violence and abuse.

If successful, the funding we receive will go directly towards running our ‘Connect with Respect’ programme – a dynamic preventative programme for schools and other settings that educates and supports children and young people to have happy, healthy relationships for life.  In the last 4 years, as part of this programme, we have visited 17 schools and 2 youth groups and performed workshops for over 1615 children.  This has resulted in 70.16% positive outcomes.

We can only continue doing this with your help!
