Our Team
We are so lucky to have an amazing team of passionate, caring, and brilliant staff and volunteers.
All our our team are committed to ending gender based violence and to supporting people affected by it.
Lorri joined SARSAS in 2020 as Head of Services before becoming CEO in 2024. Since joining the team, she’s been instrumental in helping to develop our service delivery teams, including our counselling, specialist support work and pathway navigation teams, as well as our helpline services. Lorri’s career began in the Civil Service, where she worked for 15 years, before she retrained as a counsellor and worked as manager for a counselling charity.
“Working for SARSAS has been the highlight of my career to date. Every day I have the privilege of working with such an amazing team of passionate, knowledgeable, and generally awesome people.
I am particularly looking forward to developing our survivor voice and community work. And if we are going to change the future landscape and prevalence of sexual violence, it is imperative that we continue and expand our focus on prevention, education, and campaigning.
My message to anyone who has experienced any form of sexual violence and might be thinking of contacting SARSAS is – you are not alone. Whoever you are, whatever your experience, we will hear you, we will believe you and we will walk alongside you in your journey, whatever that looks like for you.”
