About us
SurvivorsUK exists for men and non-binary people who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual assault or rape.
We support – by providing services such as a helpline, counselling, ISVA and groupwork.
We challenge – by raising public awareness of the issue, and dispelling myths
We build – by creating and facilitating networks for better access to help
We provide emotional support, information and signposting to survivors and anyone worried about someone they know, through a national counselling and webchat service (open until 8pm most evenings). Last year, 2,600 people contacted us via our webchat services and social media.
In London, we are the only organisation providing specialist services for men and boys, including individual counselling and therapeutic group work. Across London, we provide the capital’s only Independent Sexual Advisor (ISVA) Service that helps men and boys through the criminal justice system.

You will be expected to keep abreast of digital fundraising trends and use data analytics to drive fundraising strategies. You will plan and execute fundraising events, include participation in challenge events and provide support to individual event fundraisers.
Ideally you will have proven experience in a senior fundraising role, with a strong background in digital fundraising strategies and campaigns. It is also important that you are able to empathise with people who have experienced sexual violence, and in interest in issues relating to our clients.
