Becoming a Trustee

These meetings are currently all online, but we plan to return to a blended online/in-person model when restrictions allow.

WRASAC have been supporting survivors of rape, sexual abuse and exploitation and raising awareness about the damaging effects of sexual violence since 1984. We are a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. We like many third sector women’s services have been facing varied challenges over the past few years especially adapting our services to work differently through COVID, making changes to our services to ensure that we could meet survivors needs throughout the pandemic. Year on year we continue to see an increase in the demand for our support services and have been able to evidence the need to grow our service. We have had some funding success in the last year to increase service capacity and as such, we would like to grow our board to ensure that we can meet the demands of WRASAC and ensure that we continue to provide a high-quality service that meets survivors needs.
