About

UK SAYS NO MORE is a national campaign to raise awareness to end domestic abuse and sexual violence across the UK.

UK SAYS NO MORE seeks to unite and strengthen a diverse community of members and organisations nationwide to actively take a stand against domestic abuse and sexual violence under one powerful, visual symbol. The campaign provides open-source tools and resources for individuals and organisations to take action and get involved in making a difference. Together we can challenge the myths and misconceptions around these issues, share resources and information, and ultimately work together to make real positive change.

Launched in 2016, UK SAYS NO MORE has a network of over 1000 partners, ambassador and over 150 Parliamentarian champions across the United Kingdom. Delivered by Hestia.

Safe Spaces was developed as an initiative of the UK SAYS NO MORE campaign in response to the challenges faced by victims of domestic abuse during the COVID-19 lockdown and their inability to access specialist support services. It was first launched in partnership with Boots and is now available in over 6,000 locations across the UK including, including major brands such as Superdrug, Morrisons and local independent pharmacists. Many pharmacy Safe Spaces also now offer the Government’s Ask for ANI codeword as a companion to Safe Spaces.

Hestia’s Safe Spaces initiative was awarded over £652,000 by Postcode Innovation Trust, a grant making trust funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

UK SAYS NO MORE is part of the NO MORE Global Movement.
