Throughout April, Tesco customers in Guildford will be able to vote for RASASC Guildford as part of the Tesco Community Grant scheme.
Customers are given a token at the checkout each time they shop allowing them to vote for one of three groups in their community to win a grant of up to £1,500. RASASC will use the funds to raise awareness of our work and to help survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey get access to the practical and emotional support they need.
Shoppers can vote for RASASC Guildford at the Tesco superstore on Ashenden Rd, and at the Tesco Express stores on Bridge Street, Railton Road and Portsmouth Road.
RASASC Chief Executive Officer, Daisy Anderson said: “We’re really pleased to be part of the Tesco Community Grants scheme, helping to raising awareness of the vital services we provide to survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey.
“Rape and sexual abuse has no boundaries, it can affect any age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, status or ethnicity. The more awareness we can raise among our communities the better, so we can ensure we are there to support and help those that need us.”
RASASC offer support through a national helpline, open four evenings a week, counselling for adults, young people (aged 13-17) and families, and one on one practical and emotional support through our Independent Sexual Violence Advisor service.
All of our services are free, confidential and non-judgemental. Help us reach more people by supporting us in the Tesco Community Grants scheme this April.
