We are looking for women who hold intersectional feminist values and principles and who are passionate about the mission and values of SARA. We are particularly looking for Trustees who have relevant qualifications and/or experience in the following areas:
- Human resources and personnel management, including a knowledge of employment legislation.
- Financial management, planning and budgeting.
- Secretarial, supporting with minuting, scheduling board meetings and coordinating action plans.
SARA's values are:
- 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.
We started as a feminist collective in 2010 growing into Trafford Rape Crisis and then becoming TRC Sexual Abuse & Rape Support Greater Manchester, supporting women all over Greater Manchester.
SARA (launched 2026) evolved from that vision, thanks to all the women and supporters who came before us. Our founders understood that sexual violence doesn’t happen in isolation. It intersects with race, disability, poverty, sexuality and gender identity. So, our support must reflect this reality.
We exist to support survivors of sexual violence through trauma-informed care, advocacy, and community connection.
We’re a feminist organisation providing counselling, helpline support, Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy (ISVA), community support and digital resources for women affected by gender-based violence. We believe in putting people at the centre of our care, meeting them where they are.
While we dream of systemic change, our primary focus is providing the specialist support survivors need right now – from early support to long-term healing, from practical advocacy to building supportive communities.

Our trustees and non-executive directors play a vital role in making sure that the group achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that there is a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision.
Just as importantly, they support and challenge the CEO and executive team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs, to enable Thrive Social Housing and Emerging Futures CIC to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
The Board operates under the leadership and guidance of the chair and works in partnership with the chief executive officer and the executive team.
Board members are expected to always act in the best interests of the organisation and its stakeholders, and to use their background knowledge and skills to work with the chair and other board members to ensure that the Board, supported by its committees, carries out its responsibilities effectively and lead from the top in demonstrating our culture, values and behaviours.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Emerging Futures works across the country with people affected by homelessness, drug and alcohol problems and physical and mental health needs.
