The wonderful members of Guildford, Godalming and Farnham Rock Choir gave up their time in March to help us celebrate our 30^th birthday in style.

On Saturday, 19 March, around 200 members of the choir came along to support RASASC with three special performances in Guildford to help raise awareness of who we are and the support we provide for survivors of rape and sexual abuse.

Starting off with a morning performance in Tunsgate Quarter, the choir then held a surprise lunchtime flash mob and performance in Guildford High Street, before finishing the day with a performance in The Friary Shopping Centre. Altogether, the three performances raised an incredible £988.63 towards our vital work.

Lesley Devonport, RASASC’s Chief Executive Officer said: “Since we began in 1992, progress has been made in how survivors are treated and believed, and in availability and access to essential support services. However, there is still lots to do. Recent, high-profile cases have kept the issue in the forefront of the news agenda, which has encouraged survivors to come forward and seek help – something we would always urge them to do.

“But we can’t do it alone, and we are delighted that Rock Choir came out in support of RASASC to help highlight the work we do. The incredible amount raised will make a huge difference to survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey, thank you.”
