Standing Together Against Domestic Violence Logo

 

 

 

What we do

Standing Together Against Domestic Violence is a UK charity bringing communities together to end domestic abuse.

A Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) is a regular local meeting to discuss how to help victims at high risk of murder or serious harm.

No single agency has a complete picture of the life of a domestic abuse survivor, but many will have insights that are crucial to their safety.

The MARAC is both a forum to share these insights with other local services and to develop a joined-up safety plan.

In 1999, Standing Together pioneered the first multi-agency group to implement safety measures for victims of domestic abuse in Hammersmith and Fulham. MARACs have since been recommended by successive governments and are now prioritised in every Local Authority area.

Today, Standing Together coordinates MARACs across five London boroughs:

  • Hammersmith & Fulham
  • Westminster
  • Kensington & Chelsea
  • Ealing
  • Haringey

Shared Lives is a community based service for adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs, or older people that runs across Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.  The scheme is being delivered by Grace Eyre, a charity whose name is taken from Grace Eyre Woodhead, who not only founded the organisation in 1898 but also formed the first Shared Lives scheme in the UK.

Our carers are regular people who want to make a difference and can share their home with someone who needs extra support – in return, they are paid, receive training and ongoing support, and become part of an active, supportive network of carers across the UK.

There are over 150 Shared Lives Schemes across the UK.  The schemes are managed by experts in this field, funded by local authorities and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.

We are looking for more people to become carers.  As one of our current carers says, “It’s a highly rewarding job and I’ve really benefitted too – I’ve made a firm friend!” – so why not get in touch to find out more?
