RASASC launches first Crowdfunding project to support young survivors

To help support young survivors of rape and sexual abuse, RASASC have launched their first Crowdfunder

As we start to come out of the pandemic, there are many challenges to address, one of which is that charity fundraising is now much more challenging. This is also at a time when demand for our services has increased.

We have seen a significant increase (47%) in young survivors of rape and sexual abuse aged 13-25, coming to us for help. To help address this, we have taken the plunge and launched Young Survivors, our first ever Crowdfunding project.

We are aiming to raise £26,880 to ensure we can support an additional 30-35 young survivors of rape and sexual abuse through our counselling, helpline and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) services.

This is where we need your help. Could you help us spread the word, and share our project, or pledge a small donation if you’re able to, to ensure we can support more young survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey?

Victims of child sexual abuse to be included in new VAWG strategy

by Kate Whitaker • 1 October 2025

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.
