Dress in Yellow Day 2025 | Victim Support
06 January 2025
The event is held each year to coincide with Sexual Abuse and Violence Awareness Week to highlight these issues and promote the message that it’s not ok.
“Whilst the purpose of the day is to raise awareness of these serious issues and help to provide a voice for people affected by sexual abuse and violence, we want to encourage individuals and organisations to have fun and dress in yellow, to help spread awareness and fundraise to help us support the victims of Sexual Abuse and Violence.” says the charity’s CEO Lorna Trevethan.
“Last year we raised just over £4,500 through the Dress in Yellow Day which helps us to continue to provide our services, including providing support to victims of sexual abuse and violence which account for approximately a quarter of our referrals.”
Victim Support Isle of Man would like as many businesses and residents as possible to get involved; this could be from wearing yellow socks to yellow dresses and suits - the brighter the better, as well as, for example, holding yellow themed cake sales, raffles, guess the number of sweets in a jar!
“We would like organisations to register their participation so that we can support and thank them as well as visiting them on the day!”
