Partnerships.
Charity Partnerships
The financial and in-kind support of local and national businesses plays a vital role in strengthening the future of Break the Silence and extending the reach of our work within our local communities.
By partnering with us, your organisation can help provide specialist support to survivors of childhood sexual abuse while contributing to lasting, meaningful change close to home. We deliver trauma-informed, professional services that support recovery, healing and growth. In the 12 months to March 2026, we supported 398 people across East and North Ayrshire, delivering 3,278 sessions of professional support and 263 information sessions.
Corporate support enables us to:
- Sustain and expand frontline support for survivors.
- Invest in staff development and continuous professional training.
- Maintain high standards of practice, accreditation and safeguarding.
- Ensure our services remain accessible, responsive and effective.
As demand for our services continues to grow, partnerships with local businesses are more important than ever in helping us meet need and sustain services. Funding uncertainty and wider sector pressures remain ongoing challenges, so support from the business community helps us continue to offer continuity, stability and specialist care.
