Saje Scotland

Saje is a registered Charity and social enterprise organisation founded in January 2011. We were awarded BIG Lottery funding in May 2014. a. Vision: We want a world where domestic abuse is not tolerated and where everyone can live free from harm. The courses are designed to empower people to make positive choices about their own lives and for lives... of their children. b. Purpose : Saje exists to reduce and prevent domestic abuse in Scotland. We do this by facilitating groups. The programmes are called the Saje Programme and the Toolkit for Life. We facilitate groups for any woman who wants support and information of how to move towards living a life free of abuse. The groups look at the wide range and types of abuse women can experience and the impacts of abuse on women, children and our society. All the women in the groups will have experience domestic abuse at some time in their life. It is peer support and it is incredibly supportive and invaluable. The groups also provide friendship, support and, surprisingly, fun. Those who complete the course, our graduates, can go on to become a volunteer and, after some training, co-deliver the programmes. We work closely with other agencies in Fife who support those who have lived with domestic abuse and share lots of information. We go to organisations or groups to give talks about what we do. Saje Scotland is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of a Chair, and up to 8 Board Members. There are a number of Associate consulting members. The Board of Directors meets every 6 weeks. They oversee the day to day work of Saje, the governance of the organisation and plan for the future. These individuals bring skills and experience from a range of backgrounds including management, community care, finance, health and safety, equal opportunities, marketing and much more. Our volunteers are all graduates of the our Saje Programmes. Some of the graduates want to facilitate programmes. Others bring a range of skills and talents that supports in organisation in many ...Read More
