Golfbags charity raises 16,000 for RASASC
The Golfbags Charity Golf Society raised an incredible £16,200 towards RASASC's work

A huge thank you to Surrey Golfbags Charity Golf Society for hosting RASASC at their charity golf day, which raised over £16,000 for our work with survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey.
Chairperson Sue Bonny said: “So many of our members have expressed how important the work is that RASASC does with survivors of rape and sexual abuse, so we are absolutely thrilled to be able to support your cause with a donation of £16,200.”
Thank you so much to all the members who donated and supported the golf day. The incredible amount raised will mean we can reach many more people across Surrey who urgently need support through our counselling and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) services.

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.
