Bradford Survive and Thrive partnership
Survive and Thrive is a partnership of three charities, Staying Put, Family Action and WomenCentre, who have successfully worked together since 2019, to provide a fully inclusive holistic domestic abuse service adopting a think family approach.
Together we offer early intervention and prevention, specialist work with children and young people, recovery and confidence building and packages of practical and emotional support, counselling to children and adults and access to high quality crisis support, accommodation and housing.
This support is available to anyone who lives in the Bradford District.

Survive and Thrive services
One Front Door helpline
Our One Front Door helpline is open to anybody who needs help – whether you are a victim or survivor, a friend or family member of someone who needs help, a professional who needs advice for a client, or a perpetrator who wants to address your behaviour.
Accommodation
We have four refuges across the Bradford District. We offer safe accommodation for single women or women with children in a range of shared and self-contained units, rooms or flats. Our largest unit can accommodate up to 7 children. The accommodation service also has a portfolio of dispersed properties across the Bradford District, ranging from 1 bed flats to 4 bed houses.
We can support male victims by offering accommodation within the dispersed service. We can also support people who have no recourse to public funds providing that the council or another agency is able to support financially with rental costs and living costs.
Support for children and families
We work with children and families in Bradford who have experienced domestic abuse and need support to move on to a brighter future. We use play based and creative approaches to support families to feel safer, rebuild relationships and understand the impact of domestic abuse and trauma.
Counselling services
We offer 121 specialist domestic abuse counselling along with a psychoeducation group. Both are designed to help deal with and process domestic abuse trauma.
Early intervention and prevention
We offer tailored emotional wellbeing and recovery support for individuals affected by domestic abuse or sexual violence.
Our service includes short term support by the Community IDVA service, specialist male domestic abuse service, DA Car, Dram and MARAC services.

Leave the abuse, not your home
