Today, on the last day of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Respect is launching our impact report for 2025/26. As we celebrate two and half decades of our work to stop domestic abuse, this 25th anniversary edition highlights our achievements, reflects on how far we’ve come and how far there still is to go.
In 2024/25:
- We developed our new national initiative, the Centre for Excellence, which has now launched.
- The first Respect Manifesto was published, in the run up to the general election.
- We re-established the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse under the new Parliament, with Respect continuing to provide the Secretariat and Jess Asato MP as the new Chair.
- Across our different projects and programmes, we trained thousands of professionals in responding to the perpetration of domestic abuse.
- Our two national helplines continued to offer support to male victims and to perpetrators looking to change. The Men’s Advice Line received 36,734 calls.
- Many of our innovative projects, including the Respect Young People’s Service, Make a Change and the Drive Partnership expanded into new locations and piloted new approaches.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making our 25th year a success. Take a look at the report to find out more.
Respect CEO, Jo Todd CBE, said:
“You will see the vast amount of work that has happened as you read this report, as our teams built on their expertise and evidence, developed new initiatives and supported our members. I want to say a massive thank you to all of our staff, trustees, volunteers, members, partners, sector colleagues and allies – however long or short you have been with us on this journey. The sum parts of your contributions have got Respect where we are today. I look forward to what’s next.”
