Could you help build a safer Shetland? Join our Board!
We are looking for women who want to make a difference, who want Shetland to be a safer place for everyone, and have the experience, skills and time they can share to join our board.
You don’t need to have been a trustee before, what matters more is your commitment to our values, a willingness to ask questions and contribute, and an interest in ensuring that those affected by sexual violence can access specialist support here in Shetland, when they need it.

Launch of our new strategy
Today, we’re proud to launch our new strategy, which sets out our renewed vision, mission and priorities for the coming years.
This launch coincides with us marking the 10th anniversary of the service and so represents a significant milestone for our organisation. It’s been shaped by conversations with survivors, staff, volunteers, trustees and partners, reflecting their experiences, expertise and perspectives, along with input from the wider community who have shared their views as part of our development process.
