Listening, believing and supporting
We offer specialist support to people of all genders who have experienced rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, or any form of sexual violence at any time in their lives.
Our approach is trauma-informed and grounded in compassion. We recognise that everyone’s experience is deeply personal, and that there is no right way to feel, respond, or heal.
We've been listening, believing and supporting survivors since 2008.
Last year, we supported 914 people in-person and provided 937 hours of support through our helpline services.
Behind every number is a person finding their voice, rebuilding trust, and taking steps toward healing.
“I felt I could say anything. After 60 years it was good to talk to someone kind and helpful. It gave me peace of mind." – SARSAS client
Stand alongside us in making change for people affected by sexual violence and working to end gender-based violence.

What else do we do?
We’re proud to lead on some ground-breaking projects that shine a light on some of the lesser-known areas of sexual violence.
We also create free online resources and support that are available to anyone.
Trauma and self-care: online course
We have created this free online course for anyone who wants to find more information on trauma and self-care.
It contains information on the impact of trauma and suggests techniques and creative tools that can help you to cope with some of these impacts.
Sibling sexual abuse support website
Sibling sexual abuse is considered to be one of the most common forms of child sexual abuse within the family setting in the UK.
We have created a website dedicated to supporting adult victim-survivors of sibling sexual abuse which includes a supportive community space, educational resources, therapeutic tools, self-care tips, victim-survivor stories and more.
Pause Play Stop online consent tool
Navigating the world of sex and consent can feel overwhelming, especially for young people.
That’s why we’ve created PAUSE PLAY STOP – a free, easy-to-use online tool designed to help students aged 13+ feel more confident and in control when it comes to sex and consent.
