Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
In the period the charity delivered 28 weekly sessions of peer support. There were twelve beneficiaries. Group size is kept small so that the quality of the work can be particularly beneficial with reduced reliance on maladaptive coping mechanisms such as self-herm, improved quality of life and hope for the future, reduced self-blame and improved understanding of the causes of sexual violence. Beneficiaries reported high levels of feelings of support within the group and found that awareness of traumatic triggers reduced their severity and impact on daily life. During the period, the beneficiaries supported each other through the criminal investigations of their rapes, in one case the trial and in another the run-up to the trial as well as through the process of applying for criminal injuries compensation and finding counselling and other sources of support from organisations in the community. |
