Fundraise For Us

Every five minutes in the UK someone experiences rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault by penetration. And that is only adults. 15% of girls and 5% of boys have experienced sexual violence by the time they are sixteen. Our core aim is to ensure that society supports all survivors effectively and takes responsibility for ending sexual violence. But we can’t do it without the hard work of our fundraisers.

We all have the power to make change!

Holly, Amanda & Reegan Run a Half Marathon!

"I decided to do something like this to raise money as I feel it is so important for victims to speak out. I have an extremely supportive set of friends, two incredible parents and an amazing boyfriend who have all helped me come a very long way. After a tough year at university, being left to think on my own brought back a lot of past trauma for me. Doing this run will hopefully increase awareness and will also help me personally focus on something whilst I carry on studying."
