Thank you for your Christmas Appeal support
Thank you for all your generous donations to our 2024 Christmas Appeal
Thank you so much to all of our incredible supporters who donated to our first ever Christmas Appeal, which has raised over £1,700.
Your support will go a long way in helping survivors of sexual harm across Surrey that need our help.
RASASC CEO Daisy Anderson said: “I’m so pleased to tell you that our first ever fundraising campaign has raised £1,724.17.
“We have learnt a lot about campaigns in the process - not least, that people’s generosity is astounding! Although we didn’t reach our target, it’s clear there is an appetite for campaigns from RASASC, as an easy and straightforward way for people to show their support.
“Often words can feel inadequate, but I would like to say a heartfelt thank you
to all of you who donated to our Christmas Appeal. In doing so you have made a difference to the lives of many. We’ll certainly be back with more campaigns, so watch this space!”
We will continue to use the GiveMatch platform to support our team in the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April, meaning that donations made to our runners can be doubled if two of their friends and family donate too.
We will be posting more about our amazing team soon, but if you would like to donate to any of our incredible runners, you can do so here:
We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our supporters, partners and volunteers for all of their incredible support this year.
We know the festive period isn't an easy time for everyone. If you are struggling and need support over Christmas, there are services that can help.

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.
