Mission Statement
SEA is the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of economic abuse and transforming responses to it.
About This Cause
One in six women in the UK have experienced economic abuse. The effects can last a lifetime, with some women never free of the abuser’s control. They can be left with large amounts of debt, or without access to money or a home. Many are trapped with abusive partners and experience other forms of abuse. Many feel they have no choice but to take their own lives. Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) is the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of economic abuse and transforming responses to it. We pioneer new approaches to supporting survivors, such as the Financial Support Line with Money Advice Plus, which offers regulated financial advice specifically for victim-survivors of domestic abuse. We work with financial services, domestic abuse services and other frontline organisations to increase understanding of economic abuse and so that every victim-survivor can access support. We influence national laws and policies to better reflect the needs of victim-survivors, and work with industry to improve practice. We are a team of dedicated professionals. With no office, our overheads are low. This means that the funds valued supporters donate go further towards creating the changes we want to see. We depend on charitable donations for all areas of our work. Without them, SEA wouldn’t exist. Our work focuses on supporting women because of the disproportionate impact that economic abuse has on them. But we know that anyone can experience economic abuse. We want peer support and services to be available for all victim-survivors of economic abuse. We work with a range of organisations with expertise in supporting those affected. Last year, our supporters helped us: - give advice and support to 450 victim-survivors of economic abuse via the Financial Support Line with Money Advice Plus. - train more than 1,000 professionals to understand and recognise economic abuse. - influence a change to the law so that abuse that take place after a relationship has ended can be considered as controlling or coercive behaviour. With your support, we can create change for victim-survivors that can be life-changing and sometimes life-saving.
