Listening, believing and supporting
Support for people affected by rape or any kind of sexual assault or abuse at any time in their lives.
**In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling, we are assessing any legal implications on our organisation. Kindly bear with us while we do this.
Please be reassured that we will continue to provide safe spaces for and support anyone who has experienced sexual violence, including trans, non-binary and intersex survivors.**
Last year, we supported 914 people in-person and provided 937 hours of support through our helpline services.
Stand alongside us in making change for people affected by sexual violence and working to end gender-based violence.

What else do we do?
We’re proud to lead on some ground-breaking projects that shine a light on some of the lesser-known areas of sexual violence.
We also create free online resources and support that are available to anyone.
Trauma and self-care: online course
We have created this free online course for anyone who wants to find more information on trauma and self-care.
It contains information on the impact of trauma and suggests techniques and creative tools that can help you to cope with some of these impacts.
Sibling sexual abuse support website
Sibling sexual abuse is considered to be one of the most common forms of child sexual abuse within the family setting in the UK.
We have created a website dedicated to supporting adult victim-survivors of sibling sexual abuse which includes a supportive community space, educational resources, therapeutic tools, self-care tips, victim-survivor stories and more.
Pause Play Stop online consent tool
Navigating the world of sex and consent can feel overwhelming, especially for young people.
That’s why we’ve created PAUSE PLAY STOP – a free, easy-to-use online tool designed to help students aged 13+ feel more confident and in control when it comes to sex and consent.

What is a sexual assault referral centre (SARC)?
A SARC can offer free, confidential medical, practical and emotional support to people who have been raped, sexually abused or assaulted at any point in their lives. They’re usually provided by the NHS, but will always have specially trained doctors, nurses and support workers.
