About RASASC
- Strict confidentiality is maintained at all times - Unlike many centres we work with female and male victims of sexual violence (whilst ensuring safe 'women only' and 'men only' provision within the delivery of our services). We provide a confidential and caring range of services to anyone whose life has been affected by rape or sexual abuse, whether recently or in the distant past.
But we are not government-funded. We exist only by means of occasional grants and business sponsorships, donations from the public, income from providing counselling sessions and the proceeds of fundraising events organised by dedicated friends and supporters. If you've never suffered sexual violence at the hands of someone else, please nevertheless consider making a voluntary donation. Every contribution helps a victim to become a survivor. Sexual abuse can affect people in many different ways. Often there is no one for an abused person to turn to, no one with whom to share their feelings. Sometimes it's easier to talk to a skilled helper - someone who can be relied upon to listen carefully and sympathetically, without making judgements.
About RASASC (Guildford) in other languages: A useful leaflet 'Victims of Crime - Support And Advice' is also available to download in 8 languages (English, Welsh, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu) from the Criminal Justice System website. |
The Rape And Sexual Abuse Support Centre (RASASC) is a UK Registered Charity based
in Guildford, Surrey, 
Our trained staff also work to increase public awareness of the devastating long-term effect
upon survivors of rape and sexual violence. We produce advice and guidance leaflets on subjects
such as coping with depression and learning to control panic attacks, and we perform
'outreach work' visiting statutory and voluntary organisations and community groups to talk about
the work of the centre.
