RASASC awarded £1,500 from Tesco Stronger Starts
We're thrilled to receive a grant of £1,500 from Tesco Stronger Starts
Thank you to everyone who voted for RASASC Guildford in Tesco stores back in April, we're delighted to have been awarded £1,500 to help support our work with survivors of rape and sexual abuse.
Daisy Anderson, RASASC Guildford CEO said: "We're so grateful to all the shoppers and supporters across Guildford Tesco stores that voted for RASASC, the funding will enable us to reach more vulnerable people across Surrey who have been affected by rape and sexual abuse.
"This funding has come at such a crucial time. There is a great level of need, and we have had an unprecedented increase in demand since the pandemic. We know through our experience, that if survivors are given the right support at the right time – such as the support offered through our services - then recovery from sexual trauma is absolutely possible and can minimise the impact both to the individual and to society."
Tesco’s Stronger Starts (previously Tesco Bags of Help and Tesco Community Grants) has already provided over £100 million to more than 50,000 projects across Britain.
Funding is available to community groups and charities looking to fund local projects that bring benefits to communities. To find out more visit tescoplc.com/strongerstarts
