During National Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week, we recognise Week, a time to come together, listen to every voice, and stand united in preventing and responding to sexual abuse and sexual violence. It’s also a powerful reminder that no one should ever have to face these experiences alone.

Our Sexual Assault Service, Iris Suffolk , alongside other local services across Suffolk, has come together to make a shared promise: no one affected by sexual violence will be turned away or left without support. Their commitment is to ensure that help is available whenever someone reaches out.

Iris is proud to join Suffolk partners in committing to the No Wrong Door Pledge. Watch the video to see this commitment in action.

This week is Kidney Cancer Awareness Week.

Kidney cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the UK, yet many people are diagnosed late because symptoms can be subtle, mistaken, or ignored. If something doesn’t feel right, always talk to your GP. Know the sign!
