SARA

Who we are

We're here. standing with you.

We provide free, confidential support to women* affected by sexual violence because everyone deserves to be believed, supported, and heard. 

Whether it happened yesterday or years ago, whether you’re ready to talk or simply need to know someone cares, we’re standing with you.

We provide various services such as counselling, ISVA, Pathfinder, Happy Mondays Art Group, and an anonymous helpline, live chat and email service.

Our culture and values

How we do things:

Compassion - Compassion means actively caring, not just surface kindness. We show up without judgment, meeting every survivor where they are, without assumptions or shame.

Community - We do more than support people; we stand with them. We see people as more than “service users”, giving voice to the voiceless.

Growth - Recovery is gentle, growth happens in small steps. We support everyone to find their strength and voice in a way that works for them.

Integrity - We’re trustworthy. We do what we say we'll do. Confidentiality is sacred. 

Hopefulness - Healing is possible, but it's not always easy. We'll hold you up while you find a new version of yourself.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We champion equality, equity, diversity and inclusion at SARA and are continuously striving to improve our policies and working practices. We believe in being anti-oppressive and aim to be an anti-racist organisation.
