The death of Queen Elizabeth II
The team at RASASC Guildford extend their condolences to The Royal Family

The team at RASASC Guildford were deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty The Queen.
We were delighted to be awarded The Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2018, in recognition of our work supporting all survivors of rape and sexual abuse over the age of 13 across Surrey.
This support from Queen Elizabeth II for our work has greatly helped to raise awareness of RASASC Guildford and our services, and we remain incredibly grateful and humbled by this recognition.
The team at RASASC Guildford wish to extend their condolences to The Royal Family.

We’re pleased with the news that children who have experienced child sexual abuse and exploitation are now to be considered in the new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy, as announced by MP Jess Phillips. The new VAWG strategy was due to be published in the summer, but has now been pushed back towards the end of 2025. We will have to wait until the final strategy is released to see the impact it will have for those concerned. RASASC was part of a large contingent of signatories on an open letter to the Home Secretary, requesting that victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation be included within the VAWG strategy. We are delighted that this action has had a positive impact. Following several delays and a degree of mystery surrounding what will be in the final version, we sincerely hope that the completed VAWG strategy has heeded the advice and recommendations from experts, to deliver an effective and fully resourced plan of action.
