OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Salute Her UK works to improve the lives of UK female serving personnel, women veterans and women who work at sea by addressing the distinct and interjectional needs of women veterans. We develop the provision of national services for victims and survivors of sexual violence, bullying, harassment, and gender discrimination.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
We worked with partners to develop and support best practices, including training and workshops. We received 328 new referrals.
We delivered 4158 specialist information, advice, and guidance sessions to women.
We continued to grow our Military Sexual Trauma Therapeutic Support Group; 49 women accessed our monthly group.
Salute Her UK welcomed two new trauma therapists to the team which enabled us to meet the growing need for women to access trauma-informed therapy.
We developed and delivered three exciting women-only residential retreats. 20 women accessed our Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Course.
Feedback from service users:
"Thank you so much for the support and for helping me when I felt like my world was ending "
" The kindness, insight, and validation I received was amazing. I'd be lost without your service thank you so much. "
"I felt completely seen and heard for the first time. It was also so nice talking with someone who understood what happens when you have been sexually assaulted in the military"
" The only place I felt safe was at work until I wasn't. Salute Her is helping me to out myself back together"
We consulted with survivors to better understand their needs and utilising this knowledge we delivered needs-led service.
A new Salute Her UK website was developed with downloadable content for survivors, supporters, and professionals.
In addition to service delivery, we continued the promotion of victims' and survivors' rights, needs, and voices.
This year saw the launch of our Instagram page.
With a renewed focus on press and media work, we have obtained interviews and given comments across tabloids.
Ongoing strategic advocacy and policy work to represent and promote the needs and rights of sexual violence survivors to Government, policy- and decision-makers, including submitting evidence to inquiries, contributing to research, attending and participating in multi-agency meetings, and responding to consultations.
