Our trustees

Our incredible trustees are key to the work we do at SARSAS.

We couldn’t do what we do at SARSAS without the supportive and guiding hand of our amazing board of trustees. Through their time, commitment and expertise they help us thrive and make a huge difference to the lives of people affected by sexual violence. We are so lucky to have them.

“It is my privilege to serve SARSAS as chair. I am immensely proud of the work we do to support anyone impacted by rape or sexual abuse and our dedicated team of staff, volunteers and trustees who make that work possible. As a board, we are focused on ensuring SARSAS is able to provide high quality support inline with our purpose and that we always remain true to our ethos to listen, believe and support. We see first hand the life changing impact our services can have on survivors, and this compels us to ensure that we continue to hold ourselves and the charity to the highest standard. I am so fortune to be surrounded by such a talented board of trustees who make that possible.”

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.
