Suffolk Rape Crisis - We listen, believe and support women and girls

To provide a range of specialist services for women and girls in Suffolk who have been raped or experienced sexual violence.

Why the community needs us

We all hope that our communities are free of sexual violence, but everywhere in Suffolk there are women who need and deserve support. With our support, women and girls can take back control over their lives. As well as supporting women, we also raise awareness in communities, colleges and workplaces about sexual violence, enabling others to respond better to survivors.

Our impact on the community

Women who access Rape Crisis support services feel more empowered and in control of their lives and experience significant improvements in their health. They are likely to experience fewer flashbacks and panic attacks for example, and to feel less depressed. Professionals who undergo Rape Crisis training on sexual violence and how women cope with and respond to its impacts know more about appropriate responses to survivors and feel more confident to address these issues in their work.

Volunteers needed

Helpline volunteers: Volunteers who pass through our training course answer calls on the helpline. We ask for a commitment to work on the helpline for a minimum of one year. For our volunteer person specification please email: enquiries@suffolkrapecrisis.org.uk. We are also looking for women from all walks of life to become campaigning volunteers or trustees.
