Support for men who have been sexually abused

Since 2000, we have been delivering specialist support services to men (18+) who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and/or adult sexual assault at any time in their lives. Mankind developed from the need for an agency in Sussex that could provide appropriate services to men. Funded by the Big Lottery, we are the only service of its kind in the South East. For information on other services in the UK go to www.thesurvivorstrust.org

Partners, family and friends

We are aware that men affected by sexual violence are not lone individuals. They are members of families, partnerships and communities. It is for that reason that our services are open to anyone affected by the sexual assault of males. Please take some time to explore this site to see what is available. Whether you’re a new player seeking Grand National free bets to take advantage of or you’d like the greatest Grand National Betting Sites promotions available to current clients, we have it all in our guide.

3 IN 20 MEN ARE AFFECTED BY SEXUAL VIOLENCE

  • Sexual violence can be physical, mental, coercive or manipulative.
  • Sexual violence can involve women as well as men as the perpetrators.
  • Regardless of how it felt at the time problems may occur later on in life.
