Abstract: Domestic Violence UK (DVUK) is a UK based community organisation working with survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and modern slavery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was forced to restrict service delivery activities to comply with spatial restrictions from social distancing and multiple lockdowns. It remained able to provide essential services owing to the commitment of staff and local connections based on long standing relationships. The organisation utilised existing relationships with public bodies to gain access to funding and to provide a key platform for service user needs.
