Story

Why support SARSAS? It is hard to imagine the extent to which a persons life can be change after experiencing sexual violence. Rape and sexual abuse can have a devastating impact affecting psychological, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Reclaiming life after sexual violence is hard, but SARSAS makes it possible.We provide free specialist 1:1 counselling sessions, group & art therapy, a telephone helpline, webchat & e-support services for anyone who needs support to reclaim their life after sexual violence. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen a rise in people needing support which means an increase in the length of time someone has to wait to receive the help they need and deserve.Every donation we receive means someone on the waiting list will get the help & support they need sooner.
