Fundraising Manager takes on Brighton and Hove triathlon!
Our Fundraising Manager Helen, is taking on her first ever triathlon for RASASC!
Our plucky Fundraising Manager Helen is taking on the Brighton and Hove triathlon
on Sunday, 1 September, to help raise money and awareness for RASASC.
She says: “I have many friends who have experienced sexual harm and the wider impact it has on them and their families and friends, so I am doing this for them.
"The services we provide at RASASC are phenomenal, and are all free – which is why I’ve found myself raising awareness by doing a triathlon! If my efforts help one person to reach out and get in contact for support, then I have already achieved my goal.
"You are not alone and the team at RASASC are out of this world. We are here to help you get your life on track, look forward to your future and provide the support you need.”
The Brighton and Hove triathlon is a sprint event, involving a 750 metre swim, 20km bike ride and a 5km run. Helen has been training hard and has set herself the challenge of raising £350. To help her smash this target, visit her JustGiving page
to make a donation to our vital work.
All money raised will go towards supporting survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey through our counselling and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor services.
Thank you so much Helen for taking on this incredible challenge for RASASC, and good luck, we know you will smash it!
RASASC are very disappointed by the Church vote against independent safeguarding measures.
We’re delighted at the adoption of all 20 recommendations from the final report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
