We are very grateful to our Corporate Supporters who share our values and who work with us to increase awareness and help us to ensure that Safeline’s services remain free, tailored and non-time limited.
It is estimated that 1 in 4 women, 1 in 6 men and 1 in 10 children have been the victims of sexual violence in the UK.
It is believed that only 1 in 8 children who have been sexually assaulted are ever identified.
Safeline’s objectives are that everyone affected by sexual violence should be supported; and that we should work together to prevent its occurrence through Prevention & Early Intervention programmes.
“I was so ashamed. I didn’t have the words or the confidence in myself. I thought that I would be in trouble and that I would hurt my family. I was just a little girl”. Adult Survivor of Childhood Sexual Violence

Gifts In Kind
In addition to fundraising, Safeline is always in need of other support in the form of expertise, donated items, technology, raffle/tombola prizes etc.
Safeline is very grateful to the organisations that reach out to support us. Every year, we hold a fundraising tombola, and the local supermarkets are incredibly supportive. Not only do they encourage their customers to donate to our appeals, but they also give items directly to Safeline for our raffles, prizes, and Tombolas. Some examples include:
- March 2021 Chocolate Hamper Raffle prize. Contents donated by Tescos Warwick and Coventry Crosspoint and Morrisons Leamington Spa.
- Melissa Hazell Community Champion for Tesco Warwick and Coventry Crosspoint store with the winning ticket for the hamper.
If your company can donate equipment or time in support of Safeline, we’d love to hear from you.
Cause Related Marketing
Cause-related marketing is a mutually beneficial way for our corporate partners to help us with our work.
A commercial partnership such as cause-related marketing will place your product in front of new audiences and tangibly demonstrate your commitment to your corporate social responsibility goals.
Nature’s First Aid have committed to donate £1 for every order they receive over £30 and then they also developed a special Safeline product. It is called “Nature’s Safeline Kit” of which 10% will go straight to the charity. The kits are made up of oils that promote hope, positivity, and safety.
In 2020, Nature’s First Aid, contacted Safeline to ask if they could support our work.
