Lanarkshire Rape Crisis Centre (LRCC), established in 2004, is an independent charity with the objective of relieving
the distress and improving the welfare of women and girls who, at any time in their lives, have been subjected
to any form of sexual violence. LRCC works collaboratively with 17 Rape Crisis Centres across Scotland who also
adhere to National Service Standards.
The National Lottery Community Fund, Improving Lives- Young Persons Project 2025-2027:Lanarkshire
Rape Crisis Centre (LRCC) has been awarded funding for a 3-year period for a Young Survivors Project. The
funding will provide a dedicated Young Survivors Support Service and lead to the creation of a Young People
Reference Group. The Support Service will offer a range of individual and peer support options to aid in the
recovery from any form of sexual violence or abuse. The Reference Group will be a space for young people to come
together in solidarity, have their voices championed and amplified and be a key part of the prevention landscape
tackling gender-based violence. The funding means we are recruiting 2 new staff to lead on the development and
delivery of the project and work collaboratively within our existing staff teams to deliver the project
outcomes.
Purpose of Post:The overall aim of this post is to support young people to establish a reference
group and other group activity to: amplify young survivors voices, offer peer support and connection, engage in
consultations, lead on awareness raising campaigns and influence the work of LRCC and the Violence Against Women
partner agencies in Lanarkshire. The post will also play a key role in the facilitation of programmes with young
people around recovery from sexual violence, what healthy sexual relationships look like (using nationally
approved prevention materials), and to support schools, colleges, universities and communities in implementing
holistic and strategic approaches to addressing gender-based violence.
