    You never owe anyone sex, even on Valentine’s Day. Consent is always about your choice—free from pressure. If your partner makes you feel obligated, that’s not okay. You have the right to say no or change your mind at any time. Need support? Call The STAR Centre at 01563 544686. #ConsentMatters #HealthyRelationships #ValentinesDay

This way we can be sure that we have the correct details for you. We understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support after sexual violence, and want to make sure that we can get in touch with you as soon as possible.

    What is Gender-Based Violence? We campaign year-round to end sexual violence which is rooted in gender-based violence, but what does that actually mean? These graphics explain what we mean when we talk about gender-based violence and why the fight to end sexual violence cannot be separated from the fight for gender equality. 💜
    Blue Monday - the days are still cold & dark, it feels like ages until payday, & the excitement from the festive season is behind us. It's normal to feel a little down right now. But even when things feel tough it's important to take care of yourself. Self-care isn't just about face masks or bubble baths. It's about looking after your mental, emotional, and physical health. Here are a few ways to boost your well-being today: ✨Practice Mindfulness - Take a few minutes today to focus on your breath, be present & clear your mind. Journaling can also help get your thoughts down and create clarity. ✨ Exercise (Gently) - This is about losing weight or getting ripped. It's about moving your body in a way that feels good to you. Whether its a walk, yoga, or dancing to your favourite song, moving your body can boost your mood & energy. ✨ Connect with Loved Ones - Reach out to a loved one. Human's are social creatures and being with people who just get us is vital for emotional health ✨ Prioritise Sleep - Ensure you're getting enough rest. Good sleep is essential for recharging your batteries. ✨ Ask for Help - Self-care includes reaching out for professional support when you need it. If you're struggling, don't hesitate to seek help from specialised organisations . If you are a survivor of sexual violence and struggling, please reach out to The STAR Centre, we're here for you. 💜 #BlueMonday #GotTheBlues #SelfCare #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime
    Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Human trafficking is a complex, global issue that comes in many forms, and it includes those trafficked for sex. It often involves exploitation through force, threats, or manipulation, with victims being controlled for others' profit. Being able to recognise the signs of sex trafficking is vital in helping prevent it and supporting survivors. If you or someone you know is a survivor of sex trafficking, The STAR Centre is here to provide support. 💜 #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay2025 #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime
