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 is a member of the Scottish Rape Crisis Alliance; and we work collaboratively with rape crisis centres across Scotland and specialist organisations in this sector as part of the national movement to eradicate male violence against women.

Supporting around 600 survivors every year and engaging with thousands of people in Lanarkshire in achieving our objectives, Lanarkshire Rape Crisis Centre is the lead specialist agency in this field and is highly regarded and trusted by statutory organisations, local third sector partners and most importantly the women and girls we support. As women and girls are overwhelmingly those subjected to all forms of sexual violence and men are overwhelmingly those perpetrating those offences, we operate from a feminist analysis of male violence against women. We are committed to upholding women’s rights, equality, and dignity, and to delivering services within the lawful framework that enables specialist, women only provision. More information on all the services we provide are available here lanrcc.org.uk
