## Chief Executive’s Statement: Looking back on 2021/2022 

Who’d have thought the world would continue to be affected by a global pandemic in 2021/22? It is amazing how 


our communities and all of us here at First Light have adapted to a new normal. 

Iam immensely proud of the organisation I represent. Despite the numerous challenges we face, we have not only continued to provide excellent quality services but we have also delivered innovative new services in response to the changing needs of people who are affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. 

First Light has grown significantly over the past 12 months. This is as a direct result of the increase in demand for services with a 16.5% surge in referral rates resulting in over 12,000 people being supported. In order to respond to this increase in demand our establishment of staff has grown over 38% across all areas of business. Whilst this is a significant increase in staff and volunteers, each and every one is fully committed to First Light’s vision, mission and values, as can be illustrated by our most recent staff survey; 

92% are proud to say they work at First Light 

I am delighted to say there have been many successes right across the organisation and I want to share with you some of the most notable. 

- New 7-year Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) contract in partnership with Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust across Wiltshire & Gloucester. 

- Achieving Quality Standards for Services Supporting Male Victims / Survivors of Sexual Violence for both our SARC & ISVA services. 

- Achieving Quality Standards for Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) Services 

- Expansion of our sexual violence therapy service to include the provision of play therapy for children aged 5 years and over. 

- New 2-year Primary Care Identification & Referral Pathway Service contract across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. 

- Recruitment of a LGBT+ Domestic Violence Advisor to better support the needs of the LGBT+ community and break down barriers to disclosures. 

- Extending our helpline hours 9am – 9pm Mon – Fri and 9am – 5pm on Saturdays. 

- Secured additional grant funding enabling us to introduce new as well as expand existing central and frontline services to meet the ever-increasing complex needs of those we support. 

- Increasing the profile of First Light through the effective use of social media. 

All this is only possible due to the ambitions and commitment of our staff and trustees as well as the generous support of our funders who share our vision for the future.

## Vice Chair’s Look to 2022/2023 and Beyond 

2021 was another challenging year for First Light due to the ongoing global pandemic, increasing demand for support and rapid organisational growth, all requiring new skills and new ways of working. 

et again, our brilliant team of staff and volunteers Yperformed with energy, focus, passion and resilience. On behalf of the Board, huge thanks to every member of staff and to all our partners, sponsors and supporters. 

Whenever I meet with the team I’m always struck by their dedication and their commitment to doing more. They’re always focused on not simply delivering the best level of service they can for those impacted by violence and abuse, but on how much else can be done to improve outcomes for clients in the future. 

Over the coming year we look forward to working on a whole range of projects and services that will enable us to extend and optimise our impact and to do even more to improve outcomes for people accessing our services. 

Most notably in the next 12 months we’ll be: 

- Developing our training to give young adults in post 16 education, professionals within the domestic abuse and sexual violence sector, frontline workers within Cornwall Family Assessment and Support Teams and GP and healthcare practitioners the skills to support those affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. 

- Increasing the impactful work delivered by our Safer Futures services in Cornwall by working with more GP surgeries in 22/23 and by recruiting more volunteers to provide more survivors with listening and mentoring recovery support. 

- Continuing to improve our Sexual Violence Advisory Service by developing our non-contact sexual offences support and by introducing LGBTQ+, Neuro diverse, and Male Children and Young People’s Advisers to the team to better support the diverse needs of our community and break down barriers to disclosure. 

- Welcoming a new Manager to the SARC team to take forward the new seven-year contract commencing Oct22. They will continue to work towards UKAS accreditation and extend outreach to across Wiltshire, specifically for young adults, other sexualities and ethnic communities. 

- Build on our work to give people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence a voice and to ensure that this voice is heard. 

- Expanding our Board of trustees to ensure that we have the right blend of skills to effectively support and govern the organisation as it grows. 

A final thought for the future brings me to our vision, ‘a place we live in safety, free from Sexual Violence and Domestic Abuse’. With the number of clients continuing to increase this can feel further from our reach than ever and to tackle this we’re starting to look at what affect we could have on harm reduction alongside our valuable crisis support and recovery services. This work is in its infancy but if we can make an impact in this space then that vision could be a reality for future generations. 

**Poppy Naylor Vice Chair of Trustees** 

- Filling the current gaps in therapeutic provision across Devon, by providing pre and post-trial therapy for adults across Devon engaged in the criminal justice process and by providing specialist play based therapy to children under 11 years and young people with a learning difficulty.

Freshers Fayres: We attended college and university freshers fayres across Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall to raise awareness and discuss healthy sexual relationships with students. This included our Tea & Consent Tent at Plymouth University in partnership with the Sexual Assault Referral Centre.

## Outreach 

## Supporting Families Outreach 

In partnership with Cornwall Council, three Domestic Abuse Support Advisers began working alongside the Family Assessment and Support Teams of Children’s Services with the aim to early identify and support families effected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. In the first three months alone, 17 families have been referred into service for advice and support. Vital training for frontline practitioners will commence in 22/23. 

## Primary Care Outreach 

In addition to our Health Outreach within Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, in summer 21 a team of General Practice Domestic Abuse Advisors was introduced thanks to funding from Safer Cornwall.  Primary Care Outreach is working with GP surgeries across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to early identify and support victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence. Vital training is also provided to primary health care practitioners and reception teams to support routine enquiries for abuse. 

In just eight months **, 214 victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence have been identified and supported** , including 11 children and young people. 1 in 3 of these individuals have been moved into longer-term crisis support and recovery services. 

## Anne’s Story* 

nne met her husband when she was a teenager. She suffered sexual, financial, physical and emotional abuse Afrom him for over 50 years. Anne was completely isolated from family, friends and her children who fled the abuse years before. Anne has reduced mobility with severe nerve damage due to the physical assaults alongside a long history of poor mental health including several suicide attempts. Anne struggled to maintain eye contact, minimised her experience and blamed herself. 

## **“I don’t go out anywhere. He does the shopping. The only place I go is to the GP and he takes me there. I’m frightened of doing or saying something that will make him explode towards me.”** 

The GP appointments provided the only safe opportunity for our Adviser to work with Anne. A multi-agency plan was put in place to support Anne’s decision to leave her husband, with our Adviser ensuring her voice was heard at these meetings. After a lot of planning and joint agency work, Anne successfully moved into safe accommodation. Anne is still struggling with what has happened, but she is now looking forward to the future.

## Volunteer Led Mentoring 

Building upon our 2020 pilot, in Sept21, thanks to funding from various trusts and Ecclesiastical Insurance we launched a volunteer-led mentoring service. Our Volunteer Co-ordinator recruited and trained 12 volunteers to provide regular mentoring support to victims who are no longer in crisis but need  support to move forward. 


“It has been really good talking to someone who got it. I could explain my feelings and felt accepted.  I didn’t have to excuse myself or justify anything. [Volunteer] was non-judgemental where other people have not been, questioning why I ever took him back?  She was brilliant.” 


In just six months, 735 volunteer mentoring and listening hours have been provided to 109 individuals. Two thirds of individuals completed their mentoring and no longer required support. Whilst, two volunteers have already used their new skills and experience to gain employment within domestic abuse support services. We look forward to expanding the programme in 22/23. 


## Legal Clinics 

Our partnership with Coodes Solicitors continued to provide free weekly clinics with a specialist Domestic Abuse Lawyer, enabling individuals to understand the legal options available to them. Over the year, pro bono legal advice was provided to 188 individuals helping them access their rights and protection through the law. 

## Summer Policing 

First Light, Splitz, and Plymouth and Torbay Domestic Abuse Services worked in partnership with Devon & Cornwall Police in a 12-week pilot providing immediate specialist advice to Police Officers and victims at incidents. Telephone support was provided between 6pm and 1am on Friday and Saturday evenings with the aim to improve victim engagement and support.  First Light supported 37 individuals, with seamless access into longer-term support where required.

## Devon & Cornwall Sexual Violence Advisory Service 

## 2,182 victims of sexual violence supported 

Our Sexual Violence Triage team is funded by the Henry Smith Charity and the Office of the Police and Crime Comissioner. We received 1,523 new referrals from victims of sexual violence, a 29% rise from 20/21.Almost 1 in 3 were for children and young people under 18 years (457). 99% of individuals were contacted within 24hrs, ensuring advice and support at the most critical time. 

Our Adult, Male and Children & Young People Advisers supported 2,182 current victims and historic survivors, providing: 

- Safety planning 

- Accurate and impartial information 

- Emotional and practical support 

- A single point of contact, who liaises third parties 

- Supporting before, during and after court if applicable 


I had many services involved with us in the last year … [Adviser] was one of the very few professionals who really made a difference.” 


## Service Accreditation Achieved 

In Mar22 First Light achieved the Quality Standards Accreditation for sexual violence advice and our Male Quality Standards in supporting male victims of rape, child sexual abuse or sexual assault. 

Launch of Non-Contact Sexual Offences Support 

ith a rise in digital/online sexual offences First Light has Wworked with Safer Cornwall and Cornwall Council to establish specialist support for children and young people in Cornwall who have experienced a non-contact sexualised offence. In Jan22 we appointed three Advisers and look forward to developing this work during 22/23. 

**First Light South West Ltd** 

13 



We worked with 103 individuals to consider their options. This resulted in 13 individuals providing anonymous information, with 22 individuals going on to report to the Police. An overwhelming 2 in 3 victims decide not to report the sexual offences against them. 

Reporting this crime to the police was not as unpleasant as the crime itself, but it wasn’t far behind. First Light made the process easier to deal with and answered many of my worries and questions.” 

Of the 1,178 individuals whose support concluded this year, only 51 victims had their offender found guilty in court (4%). It is clear that criminal justice resolutions for victims remain extremely very low, and where these do occur it is a lengthy and harrowing process. 

I think I’ve almost made peace with it… I know I’ve done the right thing…for the law and me personally. Thank you for being here, your messages were a glimmer of sunshine in some of my darkest days.” 

First Light continues to support the Cope & Recovery needs of all victims and support survivors into recovery services once their need for crisis services has completed. Of those accessing support: 

- 39% were referred onto recovery therapy 

- 38% referred into mental health services 

- 37% were referred to community-based support groups

It’s harder for guys to talk. It has helped me a lot, with issues. I don’t think I would have been where I am right now if it wasn’t for my counsellor and First Light. I really appreciate it.” Photograph is of a model. 

## 4 specialist sexual violence Therapists trained 

In our final year of our Counsellors In Training programme funded by Tudor Trust and the Leathersellers Company Charitable Trust, a further four students in their final year of a counselling diploma undertook training and placements. 


I didn’t want to try and help someone without a pretty decent toolkit. The training has been incredible and the support way beyond anything I could have expected.” 

The trainees provided therapy to 91 adults with low complexity, non-recent trauma. Over the 3 years, a total of 13 student Counsellors have been trained and 201 survivors of historic sexual violence supported.

## Lilly's Story* 

*Names changed to protect individual’s identity. Photograph is of a model. 

Lilly was sexually assaulted by an older friend. She reported the abuse to a trusted teacher but subsequent safeguarding protocols in school left her feeling very vulnerable. After the assault, Lilly felt increasingly anxious, she struggled to sleep, self-harmed and had expressed feelings of suicide. 

Lilly was encouraged to identify the link between the abuse, the bullying and negative peer relationships. Her lack of self-confidence had allowed others to take control. The Counsellor worked with Lilly in how she might take back control and how she might care for herself. The Counsellor help Lilly acknowledge herself outside the confines of the abuse. 

As counselling progressed, Lilly moved back to her own bedroom, went shopping for clothes and started wearing make up again, and spoke excitedly about future plans. 

Our counsellor encouraged Lilly to take control of the work. With Lilly in control, she was happy to explore her poor self-image and lack of confidence. Lilly felt the abuse had changed the way that others reacted to her. Bullying at school had reinforced these negative feelings. As a result, Lilly had become withdrawn, avoiding contact with anyone outside of her immediate family. She felt that everyone was judging her and what she saw as her failings. 

My family and friends have noticed a change in me. I am much more positive and happier. I know what happened, happened in the past and I now know I can move on with my life’.

Swindon & Wiltshire Sexual Violence Crisis Support 

## 322 individuals supported, up 33% 

Our Crisis Team operating the Sexual Assault Referral Centre for Swindon & Wiltshire is funded by NHS England. During 21/22 322 individuals were supported as victims of rape and sexual assault, an increase of 33% on 20/21. This includes 48 young people aged 13-17years. Almost 60% of individuals had experienced sexual violence within the previous 10 days. 


“Thank you for all of your help… when I had no control over my thoughts and feelings, you helped me to see a little bit more clearly. I will always be grateful for the support you gave me.” 

Safe, in-person services continued throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, alongside publicity to reassure victims that they will not face a penalty for any restrictions broken. Since the lifting of restrictions, there has been an increase in assaults linked to the night-time economy and a potential rise in drug facilitated assaults. The Centre Manager is Chair of the new Sexual Violence Providers Network for Wiltshire through which data, learning and best practise will be shared. 

Of the 322 individuals supported: 

- 52% were supported through a forensic medical examination to collect evidence for Police investigation 

- 1 in 5 were identified as at risk resulting in a Safeguarding alert 

- 1 in 2 were referred into sexual health clinics 

- 1 in 2 were referred into health services for mental well-being support or physical injury 

- Almost 1 in 2 were referred to the Sexual Violence Advisory Service for Wiltshire for ongoing support with a criminal investigation. 

51% of individuals accessed advocacy support 

With long waiting lists for follow-on support across the county, our Crisis Advocates funded by the Police & Crime Commissioner and Ministry of Justice, ensures victims receive continuous emotional and practical support at the most critical time. In 21/22 the team supported 165 individuals; of which 1 in 3 had additional support needs and 1 in 2 had mental health support needs. 

87% of all individuals supported reported feeling ‘better able to recover and cope with aspects of everyday life’. 33 individuals have, with our support, gone on to report the offences against them to the Police. 

87% of individuals felt better able to recover and cope 

**First Light South West Ltd**

Following achieving the Lime Culture Male Accreditation in Feb21, the Centre has now achieved accredited status until May23. The team continue to work alongside the Forensic Capability Network (FCN) to achieve UKAS ISO15189 accreditation for forensic integrity during 22/23. 

## Outreach & Engagement 

The Centre continues to see an increase in non-Police referrals, with now 57% of individuals coming into the Centre as a self-referral or referred by health and voluntary sector services. 

During 21/22 specific outreach has been undertaken to reach and encourage more males to come forward for support as victims of sexual violence. Over the year, we worked with barbers, gyms, Pride groups and pharmacies to raise awareness. As a result, twice as many males have sought support over the year, rising from 5% of referrals to 7.5%. 


You made me feel safe and comfortable to talk, take my time and reminded me to breathe. Thank you” 

With further funding, during 22/23 this outreach will expand to engage other victims less likely to seek support including those identifying as other genders and sexualities, and black and minority ethnic communities. 

## Nikki’s Story* 

Following an assault by a taxi driver, Nikki was referred to our Crisis Team at the Sexual Assault Referral Centre by the Police for specialist support and care. Since accessing our services, Nikki has been an advocate helping to promoting the Centre. 

While the experience of going to a Sexual Assault Referral Centre was daunting as I didn’t know what to expect, I felt really supported by the staff there in the aftermath of my assault. While they did all the necessary testing and physical health checks, I felt they also ensured my mental health was being looked after. 

I wasn’t aware you could access a Sexual Assault Referral Centre without having to go through the Police or another service first. I want people to know that the Centre is there in the aftermath of assault when you don’t know where else to go - they can help you.”

Thank You from First Light 

First Light’s lifesaving work supporting thousands of people is not possible without the support of our incredible volunteers, funders, donors and partners. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes to the following who help create a safer southwest: 

## Our Volunteers 

We would like to thank every single person who freely gave up their precious time to support so many people experiencing domestic abuse or sexual violence, most notably: 

- Domestic Abuse Mentors 

- Student Sexual Violence Counsellors 

- Challenge participants and fundraisers 

- Trustees 

Why I Volunteer, Michelle 


Every time I speak to a client, I feel honoured to be taken into their confidence, and to be walking beside them as a mentor. It is a strange thing to say when you are listening to people’s pain but I think it is about knowing that you are making a difference and giving them a voice. 

I did experience domestic abuse as a child, and it becomes your normality. I think our backgrounds colour our decisions in life sometimes, and certainly it has for me. I think the lived experience sometimes makes a massive difference. I think if we have actually lived and breathed that experience it makes our empathy for another person that much deeper and richer. I think as long as you have worked through those experiences yourself, which I have in therapy, you are in a more robust position to be able to offer that help.” Michelle Jowlett 

## Our Funders & Partners 

Creating a safer South West would simply not be possible without our funders and partners. We would like to thank:

## Kai’s Story 

Kai was supported by our Male Sexual Violence Adviser after suffering child sexual abuse. He had never disclosed to anyone in almost 40 years. Initially, Kai had been unsure about engaging in the criminal justice process, but decided he would do to support other family members in the same criminal case. The Male Adviser helped Kai to engage with criminal investigation, process years of pent up frustration and anger, and speak openly about the emotional impact of the abuse and the damage it had caused to his life in the years that had passed. Kai was also referred to support services to help him process his anger, guilt and shame, which he now recognises are not his burden to carry. 

I wouldn’t just tell other men to use First Light after they’ve reported to the police, but I’d tell them to speak to an [Adviser] before they report. If I’d known about you beforehand, I probably would have had the strength to report years before I did.”
