| Recipient Org: Description | East Surrey Domestic Abuse Services (ESDAS) is a charity and company registered by guarantee incorporated in 1998. We provide essential services to approx. 3000 adult and 40 child survivors of domestic abuse in Reigate and Banstead, Mole Valley and Tandridge each year. Our services are needs led, available when people need them, and work with their priorities, and are adaptable to whatever way they need to access them. This might mean that we provide someone with a single phone call for some advice or provide a whole family with a longer-term support package including counselling, advocacy and consultancy to other professionals involved with the family. All our services aim to improve safety, well-being and give people a real and life long chance to live without abuse and fear. Our services include • Crisis advocacy to increase the practical safety of those at immediate risk of murder or significant harm • Community Outreach and casework which increases survivor's options, choices and safety • Psychoeducation and well-being group work programmes • Therapy and counselling from our team of specialist trauma practitioners We also believe strongly in prevention and work with schools and colleges to ensure effective conversations about healthy relationships, relationship boundaries and can sign post effectively if there are warning signs in their friends relationships. We train over 2000 local professionals each year helping them identify survivors, and find the right pathway to support survivors. We engage with our communities - meeting people in their neighbourhoods and community groups so that we understand what support is available to survivors and ensure that community groups can help survivors get to us. NEW as of 2026/27 Strategic The Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership (SDAP) are four independent, specialist domestic abuse services covering distinct geographic areas of Surrey. Domestic abuse is a crime against the person and families. Experiences of coercion and control limit survivors’ real-world safety and combined with physical and sexual attacks creates isolation, fear, trauma, shame, and self-blame. Perpetrators restrict all elements of a survivor’s life – their access to their friends and family, their capacity for employment, their ability to pray and practice their faith in a way that matters to them. Women’s lives come to be dominated by the total wishes and needs of the perpetrator. “I would love to praise your [outreach worker], for the consistent support and kindness she showed me while I was truly vulnerable, in a state of shock and fearful. On first meeting her, she and her Police Witness Support colleague visited me following a brutal attack in my home. I was bruised, in shock, quite alone and fearful therefore I was unsure how to feel about the visit. She could see I was a little off kilter and they kindly put me at ease and allowed me to ramble on about the incident with patience and reassurance”. (survivor feedback) SDAP meet survivors at the point that they need us, and offer strengths based, holistic trauma informed care. We support adult and child survivors of domestic abuse. In Q3 of 25/26 SDAP received 2745 referrals. 95% were female, 4% male, 1% trans or non-binary. There were over 2000 child survivors identified through these referrals. Our data shows that perpetrators of domestic abuse target families with additional vulnerabilities and that domestic abuse compounds experience of disadvantage. 28% of survivors who were referred to our outreach service have a disability, mental health the most common with 61% of survivors reporting this additional need. Alongside safety and health needs, survivors often have housing, immigration, legal, financial, and parenting needs. SDAP provides both short-term interventions to address immediate safety and safeguarding needs, alongside recovery work. This can take the form of longer-term case work, group work and specialist therapeutic and counselling interventions to address the emotional impact and trauma of domestic abuse. Together SDAP offer: Surrey DA helpline & Online Chat (9am to 9pm) County-wide specialist Outreach & IDVA Services (including co-located workers with some police and health services) Survivor advocacy at MARAC & Specialist Domestic Abuse Court Male Survivor Service Black and Minoritised Survivor Service (Communities Survivor Service) Stalking Advocacy Service LGBTQ+ Survivor Service Disabilities Advocate Rural IDVA Housing IDVAs Sanctuary Scheme – a scheme designed to help families stay safely in their home by creating more protection in the home – fireproof letter boxes, new window locks, CCTV, increased outdoor lighting etc. Therapy and counselling – through in house and ‘spot purchase’ arrangements Dedicated and tailored “Group Work” offer – including education, arts, online and face to face all designed to create peer support networks and lessen isolation. Specialist safety and psychological Children & Young People’s Services Access to legal advice – free support from local solicitors. Volunteering and Employment Support A key part of the SDAP values is to highlight the voices and experiences of survivors throughout our partnership work. We create opportunities for survivors to share their experience with commissioners, and service leaders to drive improvements in the way Surrey responds to domestic abuse. SDAP supports the Surrey Survivors Steering Group (DA SEEN) a group with lived experience of domestic abuse from across the county who meet regularly to provide a voice for survivors on domestic abuse. This group of survivors shape the strategy and direction of SDAP. Their expertise is used to provide feedback to statutory agencies on the opinions and experiences of survivors and help shape decision makers’ understanding and attitudes to domestic abuse. They support DA campaigns nationally through representation on the Women’s Aid survivor steering group. They have made support for child and young people survivors a key local priority. |
