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!

Yesterday was a big day for survivors and those that work with them. We saw the release of data showing that rape convictions are at a record low in England and Wales along with the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) unveiling of a five-year blueprint to attempt to rectify this.

The experience of sexual assault or abuse at any age and whether male or female can have devastating effects on every aspect of a person’s being and life – on their mind, their body, their behaviour, thoughts and feelings.
