About Us


At Standing Together, we believe no one should live in fear, yet domestic abuse affects millions of people, often hidden in plain sight.


We don't provide frontline services. Instead, we work behind the scenes to change the systems that too often fail survivors; from housing and health to policing, social care and beyond.


As a second-tier organisation, we support and strengthen the work of others. We bring agencies together, build skills, offer expert consultancy and drive improvements in policy and practice so that people facing abuse get better, more joined-up support wherever they live.


We're best known for developing the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) a powerful model that gets services working together to prevent harm and keep people safe. It's now recognised across the UK and shapes everything we do.


Our work is proudly feminist and anti-racist. We know abuse doesn't exist in a vacuum it's linked to inequality, discrimination and injustice. That's why we're building a team that reflects the communities we serve, with space for diverse voices and lived experience.


We're remote-based but closely connected through shared values, mutual respect and a deep belief in the power of system change.


We stand with survivors. We stand for justice. We stand together for change. To read more about our amazing work click here.


The Opportunity
