We are trained specialists, we understand how sexual violence, abuse, and harassment work. We will listen to you and believe you. You will not upset or shock us; we are trained to manage your trauma and support you.
Your gender fluidity, your race, your sexuality, your disability or neurodiversity, your religion, your age, or your socio-economic status will not be a barrier when accessing our free services.
We celebrate difference.
We are an anti-racist intersectional feminist organisation.
We have a Women and Girls Only Centre and a Mr & Mx Centre. Our staff team is a diverse mix of women who are all trained as specialists in sexual violence.
We offer face to face trauma informed support services and counselling, ISVA services, and Young person & Childrens services.

We aim to provide a service which actively promotes equity, equality of opportunity, and freedom from direct and associative discrimination. We will treat all people respectfully and equitably.

We believe that sexual violence is both a cause and consequence of gender inequality. We are proud to be a feminist organisation and we will endeavour to fight for the rights of women and girls.
Equity is a fundamental human right. We recognise that our clients are discriminated against because of gender, ethnicity, religion, age, disability and sexual orientation. We are committed to fighting for equity and we will strive for inclusivity for all.
We are committed to empowering you to be able to claim your rights and make the decisions that affect your life. We support all clients using the empowerment model.
At Lincolnshire Rape Crisis everyone will be treated with dignity and respect. We will respect your individual life story and experiences. We will always believe you.
You can trust our services to be confidential and for us to provide appropriate and safe spaces. We work transparently and honestly. Our integrity and your trust in our services is a priority.
Offering you choice is paramount to our work at Lincolnshire Rape Crisis. We will be led by the choices that you make. We recognise and embrace you as the expert of you.
