Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre
CNAPJNNUMIER 1085104 fv4pApThNuM8EB4113588
AUDITED ACCOUNTS 2022123
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
(continued.. .)
In April 2022, we started planning the new 2417 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line. This was a significant
period of change for the team a5 it involved exploring options around new shift times, team structures and
contracts. As with any significant change. the helpline did sadly say goodbye to some of the team who
chose not to continue with the new service. We were sad to say goodbye to these women and thank them
for all their hard work and support to the helpline. Over the next few months, RASASC invested time in
recr(Jitment and training to ensure that the new 2417 was fully staffed and opened successfully t(> a soft
launch on lune 6th 2022. Initially, RASASC worked in partnership with Welsh Women's Aid who supported
with overnight delivery and this partnership was then extended to include two other Rape Crisis Centres
Lincolnshire Rape Crisis and ARCH Tee5ide. The service was then fully and formally launched in November
2022 and staffing levels have continued to expand. RASASC now has approximately 35 m3nagers and
frontline staffing working on the helpline, 31ongside our team of volunteers.
At the start of the financial year, we had 7 volunteers which soon increased to 17 after our Winter 2022
training. Our Spring 2023 intake saw our volunteering levels increase again, and, by April 2023, we were
able to able to be on shift 50 more hours per month than we had done in January 2023. We have had
feedback from our volunteers saying that the training and subsequent volunteering has ncit only helped
them professionally, but also on a personal level also and that "the training and support we have is
something very Special. More than anything, volunteering has given me hripe and agency in the face of
sexual violence..
Between the soft launch in July 2022 to 31 March 2023 the Support Line took approx. 9150 calls and 5010
webchats.
Client feedback included:
°thonk you- thi5 15 reolly vtslidutingfor me... This conversation hus been really validoting for me to come to
terms with whut huppened... the work you do 15 amazing, keep it up"
"I haven't spoken to onyone who understqnds before. You refJlly reassured me. I'm now going to think
obout counselling tsnd look ut the resources you provided"
