We are a leading voluntary organisation based in London, providing holistic and culturally sensitive services empowering and supporting people to improve their health and wellbeing.
What is this service?
We run a woman-only service, both for women accessing support and members of staff. This is in response to the needs of survivors and the disproportionate nature of sexual violence as committed by men against women and girls. For this reason we believe sexual violence to be both a cause and a consequence of gender inequality and are committed to a feminist, empowering model of working.
We are completely independent from the government and the police. Most of our initial consultations and support services are provided from our anonymous building in Croydon. These include:
-
Counselling 1-1, Group and Play Therapy for women and girls aged 4 years and over
-
Advocacy for women and girls aged 12 years and over who have or who are thinking about reporting to the police
-
Outreach support for women who face additional marginalisation and barriers to accessing support
-
Support Line – telephone and webchat support to all survivors aged 16+
-
Training for practitioners and organisations working across multi-agency settings and prevention with children and young people in education and youth settings
-
Consultation and responding to media and press enquiries.
