SLEEC (Survivors Leading Essential Education & Change) is a survivor-led organisation dedicated to tackling the root causes of male violence and rape culture. Entirely led by those with lived experience of rape, domestic abuse, and male violence, we began as a grassroots project in 2019 and officially registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in June 2023. Our Impact in 2023-2024 During the financial year, SLEEC has benefited the community in the following ways: Survivor Support Groups: We provided a free, year-long online support group meeting biweekly for survivors, particularly those with disabilities, neurodiversity, financial instability, or multiple access needs. Workshops & Education: We delivered 18 workshops and courses led by experts with lived experience on topics such as male violence, rape culture, accountability, safety, and survivor support. These workshops reached over 500 individuals, equipping them with tools and resources for self-support and tackling male violence. Survivor Healing Events: Two free healing events in Bristol provided survivors with access to free food, education on healing foods, and herbal medicine for trauma recovery. Public Advocacy & Awareness: We partnered with six national organisations to speak on male violence, ensuring lived experience perspectives were centered and prioritised. As a result, all these organisations committed to platforming more survivor voices in the future. Consultancy & Training: We provided consultancy on tackling male violence to five businesses, with all reporting increased confidence in addressing and intervening in situations of male violence. First Response and Emergency Support in Bristol: We provided emotional support, advice, and signposting as well as emergency food and essentials packs to over 360 survivors who had been raped, sexually assaulted, recently left abusive relationships, or were in unstable accommodation and financial situations.
SLEEC’s primary stakeholders are survivors of rape, sexual violence, and male violence across the UK, with a particular focus on Bristol and the Southwest. All our directors and team members have lived experience of rape, sexual violence, and domestic abuse, come from working-class backgrounds, as well as other intersecting oppressions, ensuring that the voices of those we work for are at the core of all our work. This year, we saw a: 76% increase in POC individuals accessing our services. 63% increase in LGBTQ+ individuals engaging with our work. 78% increase in working-class individuals seeking support. 83% increase in men engaging with our tackling male violence drop-in spaces. We have built an active network of over 100 survivors across the UK, and a local network of nearly 90 survivors from Bristol, whom we regularly consult with on topics such as male violence, rape culture, and survivor-led support services. We specifically centre the experiences and needs of those facing multiple barriers and oppressions. This year, we introduced new steering groups, including a neurodiverse survivor group, which meets regularly to discuss and address specific challenges faced by neurodivergent survivors. How We Consult Our Stakeholders Consult Survivors Community Network: Our national network of over 100 survivors meets every two months in online discussions to explore collective needs. Within this network, we are developing further steering groups focused on intersecting identities (e.g., neurodiverse, chronically ill, trans individuals, etc.). Feedback & Surveys: We use social media, online networks, and direct questionnaires to gather survivor feedback. Anonymous feedback forms ensure continuous improvement of our services. Local & National Research: Our research found that 92% of survivors are unsatisfied with local services and police response, while 98% believe more specialist, survivor-led services are needed. This insight has directly influenced the creation of our long-term support groups and emergency response projects. Training & Consultancy Development: Feedback from survivors has shaped all our training programs. In particular, our work with men is guided by direct survivor consultations and research.
