What we do
Safe Partnership is the national charity that helps the elderly and vulnerable in need, particularly elderly and vulnerable victims of crimes that compromise the security of their homes for example: domestic violence, hate crime, robbery (house keys taken) and dwelling burglary; and those living in the vicinity of such victims.
The charity takes a holistic approach to its work. We turn policies and strategies into local actions that benefit victims of and people vulnerable to those crimes.
