New members required for a National Working Group to oversee LimeCulture’s Spreading Excellence Project 2020-21

‘Spreading Excellence’ is a Home Office funded project that has been created by LimeCulture to support the sexual violence sector to ensure excellent services are available for victims/survivors.

The Spreading Excellence project aims to improve the capacity and capability of the sexual violence sector to make certain high-quality and effective services are available for all. This will be achieved through the influence and engagement of service providers, commissioners and policy leads working together collaboratively.

We are pleased to announce that LimeCulture CIC has been funded by the Home Office to deliver a Spreading Excellence project in 2020-21. This year the focus will be on improving services for children and young people who have experienced child sexual abuse following the successful delivery of the 2018-19 project.

We are keen to ensure members of the Working Group are representative of those in the sexual violence sector, with a specific focus on Child Sexual Abuse and that service providers, commissioners and policy leads are equally represented.  The creation of the National Working Group presents a real opportunity to ensure that new ideas, thinking and plans are encouraged to flourish and develop to contribute to the spread of excellence amongst the sexual violence sector.
