We're Solace. For more than 40 years we've supported women and children to build safe and strong lives. Futures free from abuse and violence.

Women in London are experiencing sexual violence right now. Some will die as a result.

We need your help to support more victims of rape and sexual assault; we simply don't have the means to help the rising number of women and girls seeking our help. 

Your donation and support will ensure women will receive support and care from our counselling service when they need it. 

They might seem invisible but they are the women you work with, ride on the bus with, meet at school or university or they may be your friend, sister or daughter. 

Sexual violence against women and girls is something that none of us should ignore. 

Women like Naomi. Naomi was raped by her colleague. 

Naomi managed to find us. Many women and girls don't. 

Survivors can tell you what our support means to them. Naomi said; "Solace is a charity who helped save me from drowning in an unspoken world, a lonely dreadful place. My world stopped."

Latest figures show that in London: 

Almost 8,000 rapes and over 11000 sexual assaults are reported to the police

Rape offences have increased by a staggering 19% and sexual assault by 9.4%

Statistics are important but they don't begin to tell you the trauma, devastation and psychological pain that rape and sexual assault victims experience. 

But the consequences for victims of rape and sexual assault who don't receive help stops them moving forward. It prevents recovery. It leads to mental and physical health problems.  

Our staff provide emotional support and help women to make their own choices whether or not to report to the police. Whatever the choice a women makes we support them and provide vital counselling which every women needs on her journey. 

Your donation will ensure we are there #StandTogether
