RASASC at VAWG roundtable discussion
Our Chief Executive Officer Daisy was delighted to be invited to take part in the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) roundtable discussion hosted by MP Helen Maguire.
The day brought together representatives from many services across the county including schools, police, sexual abuse, domestic abuse and women’s groups to share insights and information on what can be done to progress the VAWG agenda.
RASASC CEO Daisy Anderson said: “RASASC was delighted to be able to input into this important discussion, and I am very grateful to MP Helen Maguire for hosting and facilitating a progressive, intelligent and proactive roundtable debate.
“What was evident, is that there are a myriad of complexities and barriers faced by services across the borough in supporting our community. Services like ours across the sector are facing a funding crisis which has resulted in closures for some.
“If we are to be able to tackle these crucial issues like the VAWG crisis, then we need the resources to enable us to do that. Conversations such as this and the connections they offer are a vital stepping stone in ensuring we can be there for the survivors that need us."
We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our supporters, partners and volunteers for all of their incredible support this year.
We know the festive period isn't an easy time for everyone. If you are struggling and need support over Christmas, there are services that can help.

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.
