Fundraising Manager takes on Brighton and Hove triathlon!
Our Fundraising Manager Helen, is taking on her first ever triathlon for RASASC!
Our plucky Fundraising Manager Helen is taking on the Brighton and Hove triathlon
on Sunday, 1 September, to help raise money and awareness for RASASC.
She says: “I have many friends who have experienced sexual harm and the wider impact it has on them and their families and friends, so I am doing this for them.
"The services we provide at RASASC are phenomenal, and are all free – which is why I’ve found myself raising awareness by doing a triathlon! If my efforts help one person to reach out and get in contact for support, then I have already achieved my goal.
"You are not alone and the team at RASASC are out of this world. We are here to help you get your life on track, look forward to your future and provide the support you need.”
The Brighton and Hove triathlon is a sprint event, involving a 750 metre swim, 20km bike ride and a 5km run. Helen has been training hard and has set herself the challenge of raising £350. To help her smash this target, visit her JustGiving page
to make a donation to our vital work.
All money raised will go towards supporting survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey through our counselling and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor services.
Thank you so much Helen for taking on this incredible challenge for RASASC, and good luck, we know you will smash it!

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.
