About Resolute
Resolute Women’s Support Services was founded in 2021 to provide a better service for women suffering domestic abuse and violence.
Our Founder
Deborah Jones is the visionary founder and CEO of Resolute Women’s Support Services, a charity dedicated to empowering women affected by domestic abuse and violence. After surviving a decade of abuse and courageously rebuilding her life with her two children in 2018, Deborah transformed personal adversity into purpose. During her recovery, she uncovered critical gaps in the systems meant to protect survivors—gaps that inspired her to take action.
In 2021, she launched Resolute Women’s Support Services to address these systemic failures and provide holistic, survivor-led support. Under her leadership, the organisation became a registered charity in 2023 and now delivers advocacy, resources, and pathways to long-term safety, independence, and resilience for women across the UK.
Deborah’s work is rooted in lived experience, driven by compassion, and guided by a relentless commitment to social change. She brings a powerful voice to conversations around gender-based violence, trauma-informed care, and community-driven solutions.

Introduction to Other Survivors
While some victims may be hesitant to
join traditional group therapy, Resolute offers opportunities to meet
others who understand their situation, fostering connections without the
pressure to share their story in a group setting.

Guidance and Advocacy For Survivors
We work alongside survivors as they navigate the criminal justice system, offering guidance and support to ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. Although we do not provide legal advice, we assist survivors in understanding the processes and help them make informed decisions about their cases.
Coordination With Other Services
We liaise with other professionals, such as stalking advocates, police, and counseling services, to take the pressure off the victim and ensure they receive the comprehensive support they need. This coordination of services helps streamline the process for survivors, reducing the burden on them during an already challenging time.
Campaigns and Public Awareness
We lead campaigns to raise public
awareness of domestic abuse and advocate for policy changes at the
local, national, and international levels. By sharing their stories, survivors help shape best practices within the criminal justice system and beyond, ensuring that their voices are heard and respected.
