Unfortunately, there is a stigma attached to survivors of sexual crimes which makes it difficult for them to speak out and seek help for their experiences and trauma. This means that survivors are not always being signposted to access services that could assist them in their recovery. The combination of stigma and barriers to accessing services decreases, if not eliminates the voice of survivors and prevents them from receiving the support they need to feel empowered to make meaningful recovery.
This Lunch & Learn event will give the chance to learn more about the work of Birchall Trust and what services they offer for survivors but also a chance to participate in a wider conversation about what sort of barriers prevent people from accessing the service and others like it to help further improve how we respond and assist people with experiences of sexual violence.
It is hoped that such conversations and discussions will be a starting point for breaking down stigma and make such conversations more ‘normal’.

Every funder is different and therefore each grant application will be too.

However, there are some common questions that need to be answered in order to get grant funding.

Preparation is key and this workshop is to help you be as prepared as possible.

This funding workshop is designed for voluntary/not-for-profit/community organisations to cover the basics to enable you to have a funding toolkit with your checklist and supporting documents ready for when you need to prepare a grant application.
