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.”

Be the change: how to be an Active Bystander

We can all be bystanders. Every day events unfold around us. At some point, we will register someone in danger. When this happens, we can decide to do or say something (and become an active bystander), or to let it go (and remain a passive bystander).

Kinergy closure statement

We are deeply saddened by the closure of Kinergy, an organisation that has provided invaluable support to survivors of sexual violence for nearly 30 years.

The power of creativity in healing: songs of survival

Recently, two people reached out to us independently, each having recorded a song about their personal experiences of sexual violence. Their powerful and deeply moving songs serve as a testament to resilience, and we’re honoured they asked us to share their work.
