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.

Urgent Health UK are asking for your help!

UHUK are a partnership of mission-driven social enterprise providers, who are committed to making the experience of waiting for urgent care clearer, calmer and more supportive for patients.

Waiting for an update, GP Home Visit or a clinical assessment can feel stressful. We want to understand what information helps, when it’s most needed, and how technology could be used better to keep people informed and reassured while they wait.

That’s where you come in.

UKUH are asking patients and members of the public to share their experiences and ideas. You don’t need technical knowledge — just your honest view of what would make a difference. It will only take 2 minutes and could help make a big difference.

📝 Share your feedback here: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/PTComfortCall/
📅 Closes: Midnight, 30 January 2026

Please feel free to share this with friends, family and local networks — especially anyone who has needed urgent care advice or support.
