Our support enables many older people to live independently for longer than they otherwise might. The Scheme can reduce the rate at which elderly and domestic abuse victims of crime believe they are unsafe in their own homes and transfer to institutional or refuge care. 

The detrimental effects of moving home after such trauma are immense on any victim of any age with many out of control ripple effects. For these reasons, together with the wider crime reduction benefits, the scheme is widely acknowledged to be an effective and a beneficial programme for victims to cope and recover from their trauma.
