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.
