Guildford RASASC

Who we are

Making a difference to the lives of those affected by rape and sexual abuse

RASASC is a registered charity which has been providing support to male and female survivors of rape and sexual abuse (both recent and non-recent) and young people aged over 13, from across Surrey since 1992.

We provide one-to-one counselling, group support, a national Telephone Helpline, Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) service, and peer- to -peer 'confidence' groups.

Volunteers are an important part of the work we do.  Volunteers staff our Helpline and our qualified counsellors (BACP) work on a voluntary basis with survivors of rape and sexual abuse.

Our culture and values

We are an inclusive service that supports survivors of all genders over the age of 13 from across Surrey, who have been raped, sexually abused or have had an unwanted sexual experience.

We aim to help survivors overcome the abuse they have experienced and rebuild their lives.

We are made up of a small team of paid staff and volunteers. We are supported by funding from statutory and community organisations, charitable trusts, and individual donations.

We are a member of The Survivors Trust and our services meet The Survivors Trust Standards. We are also a member of the Helpline Partnership and the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to equal opportunities, and we warmly encourage applications from all sections of the community particularly applicants from diverse groups
