Our Charity

We first became a registered charity in 1994 known as Derbyshire Rape Crisis, initially offering counselling services. We have since expanded our services and became SV2 – Supporting Victims of Sexual Violence in 2010/2011.

The main services available are:

  • Counselling/therapy for both adults and children
  • Independent Sexual Violence Advisers
  • Training and Awareness Sessions

“I feel protected and supported.”

We are based in Ripley, Derbyshire and also have offices in Derby City and Buxton. We provide support across all of Derby and Derbyshire.

Please note that we do not work with perpetrators.
