Is a fundamental human right. We recognise that our service users are discriminated against because of gender, ethnicity, religion, age, disability and sexual orientation. We are committed to fighting for equity and we will strive for inclusivity for all.

Empowerment

We are committed to empowering you to be able to claim your rights and make the decisions that affect your life. We support all service users using the empowerment model.

Respect

At Lincolnshire Rape Crisis everyone will be treated with dignity and respect. We will respect your individual life story and experiences. We will always believe you.
