Celebrating impact: our 2024 – 2025 report

We’re proud to share our Impact Report for 2024-2025; a reflection of the resilience, courage, and hope that defines SARSAS and the people we support.

Over the past year, we supported 1,126 people through counselling, specialist support, group work, and online trauma sessions. Our team also responded to more than 3,000 contacts through our helpline and e-support services.

But these numbers only tell part of the story. We’ve also taken strides in prevention and education. Through our training programmes, outreach work and campaigning, we’re working to change the narrative that exists around rape and sexual abuse, helping to shift attitudes, raise awareness, and reduce harm before it happens.

Our volunteers and staff have been working tirelessly, often beyond what’s visible. From the helpline volunteers who offer life-changing emotional support and the group facilitators who hold space for every survivor, to the admin, fundraising, finance and partnership teams – each role matters in changing lives.

This report is, above all, a celebration of the survivors who place their trust in us, and the dedicated staff and volunteers whose passion and commitment make our work possible. They are the heart of SARSAS, driving change and creating safe spaces for healing every single day.

Ending sexual violence without fueling hate

At SARSAS, we know that violence against women and girls (VAWG) is rooted in misogyny, inequality, power and control. It is not about immigration. That’s why we have joined over 100 women’s rights organisations in signing a joint letter with the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW), against the weaponisation of VAWG.

Holding Space: a peer support group for older women

Last month, we launched a new peer support group for older women (aged 55 and over) who have experienced sexual violence at any point in their lives.
