New alliance working together for London’s victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse

Alongside Respond, SurvivorsUK, Rape Crisis South London, Women and Girls Network, Solace, and nia, we are working with MOPAC as a new alliance to deliver the Mayor’s Pan-London Sexual Violence Support Service.
November 3, 2025

We are pleased to announce that from 1st October 2025, and for the next five years, Respond, Galop, SurvivorsUK, and four Rape Crisis Centres, run by Rape Crisis South London, Women and Girls Network, Solace, and nia are working alongside MOPAC as a new alliance to deliver the Mayor’s Pan-London Sexual Violence Support Service.

Using our 225 years of collective experience, and in consultation with survivors, we will offer a more consistent, accessible, and needs-led sexual violence service across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London.

In our first 18 months, we will implement digital solutions to improve referral pathways and help us manage demand, so we can ensure survivors have access to the same specialist service offer wherever they live in London.

Our vision is for survivors to have more choice, connection, and voice in their unique recovery journey. Our Alliance will offer tailored and empowering interventions suitable for all stages of healing, from initial support and safeguarding, advocacy, therapy, peer support, holistic interventions and spaces for growth and activism.  

We are grateful to the Mayor of London and the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime for guaranteeing existing funding levels for the next five years. This provides critical stability for survivors and our services, so we can innovate and fundraise to try to meet the growing demand for support.

During the transition phase, individual services will continue to offer a range of services to survivors who have experienced sexual violence at any point in their lives.
