yourSanctuary (formerly Surrey Women’s Aid) was established in June 1977 and is a registered charity supporting women, men and children who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse. Confidential practical and emotional support is offered and the charity aims to enable survivors of abuse to restore their lives and reverse the damage which the abuse causes.
The statistics are staggering:
One case of domestic abuse occurs every 20 seconds in the UK; it is the 2nd most common violent crime in Great Britain.

2 women every week and 30 men per year are killed in England and Wales by current or former partners; domestic abuse has more repeat victims than any other crime.

One in 3 women in Surrey and one in 6 men will experience some form of domestic abuse – physical, psychological, emotional, sexual or financial – in their lifetime.
