Fundraising
Survivors of sexual violence often struggle to find their voice and be heard. Our work ensures that women, men, and children who have been affected by rape and sexual abuse receive the support they need and deserve.
Last year WMRSASC supported 2698 local people, including 1075 children and young people through our counselling, advocacy, and other front-line services.
With your support we can ensure that people can feel safe and have the tools in place to take control of their lives.
There are many ways to help:
