RASASC were delighted to host a visit from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey, Lisa Townsend and her colleague Damian Markland, Policy & Commissioning Lead for Victims on Thursday, 7 April.

The visit gave Lisa and Damian an opportunity to understand our plans for moving forward as we come out of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the challenges faced by clients using our services, and learning what we hope to achieve in 2022/23.

By visiting and understanding our work, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey will have a better understanding of the needs of survivors of rape and sexual abuse. In turn this raises awareness of our work to other ministers, helping them understand some of the huge challenges faced by charities such as RASASC in delivering vital services in these uncertain times.
