Nexus
Background
Nexus NI offer services and support to people who have been affected by sexual violence in any form with services delivered across Northern Ireland. These services include; counselling, training, education and support.
The organisations vision is a society free from the trauma of sexual violence. Our mission is to change the lives of those affected by it and our values are EPIC:
To work with empathy
To demonstrate professionalism in our work
To work with integrity
To remain client focused in all that we do
Since 2010 Nexus NI’s referrals have increased by 50% and while the waiting list has increased by 35%.
It is vital that Nexus exploit media interest to raise awareness about our services, increase our public profile and maintain momentum around our strategic campaign to Break the Silence.
The justice system in relation to the handling of these cases has also come under increased scrutiny, presenting an opportunity to potentially bring about real and lasting change.
Nexus requires PR services to support the delivery of the Break the Silence Strategy, and to highlight the ongoing issues we experience as a charity in the current environment, for example, since the recent trial in Belfast, Nexus has received up to 14 referrals each day – almost double our normal rate of referral.
