Volunteers are at the heart of the work that we do. They provide thousands of hours of crucial and highly skilled support to survivors and our organisation every year.
There are a number of ways that you can get involved that range from offering emotional support and psychoeducation information to survivors to administration fundraising, campaigning, and being involved in decision making.
Volunteering with us provides you with the opportunity to develop your skills and experience as well as to meet new friends.
We understand that there are many different reasons why you might give your time to SARSAS and explore these with you to best support you on your volunteering journey with us.
We value our volunteers and to show our appreciation we provide you with a thorough induction, ongoing support, additional training and development opportunities, and clinical group supervision.
You don’t necessarily need to have experience of support work – or working with sexual violence and abuse to volunteer – your personal qualities, views and ability to support survivors is what is important. Our training is comprehensive and will equip you with the knowledge to build on your skills and experience.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers!
