Who We Are
East Kent Rape Crisis Centre is a registered charity made up of trained professionals & volunteers providing a safe space to everyone affected by any kind of sexual violence or coercion, experienced at any time during their lives.
All our services are open to everyone. We also support family and friends.
We offer emotional and practical support in the form of face to face counselling, therapeutic crisis interventions, support through the criminal justice system and support and crisis phone lines.
EMOTIONAL AND PRACTICAL SUPPORT FROM PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION.
The purpose of East Kent Rape Crisis Centre is to provide immediate, empathetic and helpful support to anyone who requires it. We provide a platform for people of any age, gender, race, religion, orientation or identity to seek counselling and assistance, whether you have been affected by sexually abusive behaviour in the past, or are continuing to experience it.
