Lanarkshire Rape Crisis Centre (LRCC), established in 2004, is an independent charity with the objective of relieving the distress and improving the welfare of women and girls who, at any time in their lives, have been subjected to any form of sexual violence. LRCC works collaboratively with 17 Rape Crisis Centres across Scotland who also adhere to National Service Standards.
The National Lottery Community Fund, Improving Lives- Young Persons Project 2025-2027: Lanarkshire Rape Crisis Centre (LRCC) has been awarded funding for a 3-year period for a Young Survivors Project. The funding will provide a dedicated Young Survivors Support Service and lead to the creation of a Young People Reference Group. The Support Service will offer a range of individual and peer support options to aid in the recovery from any form of sexual violence or abuse. The Reference Group will be a space for young people to come together in solidarity, have their voices championed and amplified, and be a key part of the prevention landscape tackling gender-based violence. The funding means we are recruiting 2 new staff to lead on the development and delivery of the project and work collaboratively within our existing staff teams to deliver the project outcomes.
Purpose of Post: The overall aim of this post is to support young people to establish a reference group and other group activity to: amplify young survivors' voices, offer peer support and connection, engage in consultations, lead on awareness-raising campaigns, and influence the work of LRCC and the Violence Against Women partner agencies in Lanarkshire. The post will also play a key role in the facilitation of programmes with young people around recovery from sexual violence, what healthy sexual relationships look like (using nationally approved prevention materials), and to support schools, colleges, universities, and communities in implementing holistic and strategic approaches to addressing gender-based violence.
