Launching: The Recovery Appeal
Help RSVP Recover and Rebuild Support for Survivors
Survivors are turning to our charity in record numbers, at the very moment we’re facing one of the most challenging and destabilising periods in our history. To continue to be there for every person who needs us, we urgently need your support.
In the last year alone, over 1,500 adults needed counselling, the highest we’ve ever seen. As a result from April, we sadly paused to new referrals to this service.
Like many charities, RSVP has been hit by a deepening funding crisis and rising costs. Without extra, urgent funding, more people may face even longer waits for the specialist care they deserve.
The RSVP Recovery Appeal
Our Recovery Appeal is about rebuilding together. With your support, we’re aiming to raise £5,000 by August, so survivors in our community can continue to find safety, hope and healing, with our support.
Every pound raised will rebuild the core services that survivors rely on, across Birmingham and Solihull.
So, can we count on your help to turn this setback into strength, for the people who need us most?
About RSVP
For over 45 years, RSVP has been a crucial safe space for survivors.
We provide bold, believing, and compassionate support to help children and adult survivors of sexual abuse move towards safer, more hopeful futures.
We centre survivor voices and work to challenge victim-blaming, creating a space where people are believed, heard, and never held responsible for the harm done to them.
How Your Donation Helps
Our demand has increased, but our funding hasn’t. Your support will make an immediate and meaningful difference to people in crisis.
Here’s what your donations can achieve:
- £10- Helps rebuild our therapeutic resources for children
- £25- Helps restore helpline sessions to provide emotional support
- £50- Helps restore our counselling & advocacy support for child and adult survivors
- £100- Helps rebuild essential support, at a time when more survivors needs us than ever before.
Every pound you give helps change a life.
Changing the Tide Together
Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve been able to continue our services. However, with rising demand and increasing costs, we need your help.
The Recovery Appeal is one of the ways we can ensure RSVP continues its mission to believe and stand with survivors. Over the next few months, we will keep you updated about our appeal and the progress we’re making together.
