Our people
Our people are at the heart of everything we do at Solace, bringing together lived experience, professional expertise and influential voices to drive meaningful change.
From Survivor Ambassadors who bravely share their stories to empower others, and Charity Ambassadors who amplify our work through advocacy and fundraising, to our Shadow Board and Expert Advisers who shape strategy and ensure our work is informed, inclusive and effective.
Together, we help ensure survivors’ voices are heard, and that our work continues to support women and girls at every level.
