Ms Noeline Blackwell:

To be clear, we are absolutely non-judgmental. We are there for every single person whatever their beliefs; they come in to us and we are there to provide a professional service and support to them, regardless of their beliefs. Our belief is only that that people can be helped, they can be supported and they can cope with the impact of rape and sexual violence.
