RASASC recognised in High Sheriff Awards

We were delighted to be recognised in the recent High Sheriff Awards. Our Fundraising Manager Helen and Trustee Helen Price went along to the ceremony and presentation to receive the award on behalf of RASASC.


The High Sheriff and his wife came to visit RASASC in November 2025, and spent time meeting staff and volunteers, and learning about the work we do as well as the challenges we face. The High Sheriff is generously supporting the work of our Youth Counselling service which supports young survivors aged between 13-19.


Thank you so much to the High Sheriff for recognising RASASC and supporting our work. This award will help us reach more people by raising our profile and giving us a platform to have honest conversations about rape and sexual abuse. This, in turn, will ensure anyone reaching out for help can do so free of fear, shame or stigma.

RASASC was delighted to be invited to be part of the VAWG roundtable discussion hosted by MP Helen Maguire

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.
