Standing Together was founded 25 years ago with the ambition to eradicate domestic abuse by transforming the way organisations and individuals think about, prevent, and respond to it.

We are a national charity bringing communities together to end domestic abuse. Standing Together pioneered the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) approach in the UK, a multi-agency partnership model for keeping survivors safe and holding abusers to account. The Housing Team at STADA, focuses on responding to the housing and homelessness needs of victims/survivors of domestic abuse, through influencing national and local policy and practice, across all relevant agencies, but with a particular focus on the role of the housing and homelessness sector as a part of a Coordinated Community Response to domestic abuse.

Our model of a coordinated local partnership to tackle and ultimately prevent domestic abuse is now widely accepted as best practice.
