## **THE SERVICE** GRASAC's services are free, confidential and nonjudgemental. They form part of a comprehensive care pathway for survivors of rape and sexual violence. The impact of sexual violence is both immediate and long-term. GRASAC's services enable survivors to manage the impact of sexual violence and to move forward from their experiences. As a service we provide emotional and practical support as well as advocacy for survivors. We provide advice and information to family members, friends and professionals supporting survivors of sexual violence. ## **FOREWORD BY THE COCHAIRS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES** The year 2021-22 has continued the theme of challenging times from the preceding year. Despite this, GRASAC has continued to develop its services. The end of 2021-22 brought with it renewed attention to sexual violence and Violence Against Women and Girls more generally with the Sarah Everard case and #EveryonesInvited restarting conversations about misogyny. Every time sexual violence hits the national agenda, the requests for help from our service rises – and 2021-22 was no different. Our Helpline continued to operate in this challenging context with volunteers and paid staff making a supreme effort to be there for people needing support. Our Specialist Support Workers continued to meet clients (in Covid appropriate ways) and support their journeys. Our Independent Sexual Violence Advisors also continued to support clients through the Criminal Justice System and against a backdrop of Sexual Offences being least charged/summonsed serious offence (Home Office 2022). Only 2.9% of sexual offences reported to the Police resulted in a charge/summons. This is the lowest percentage in recent history. We know that 2 in 5 people who report rape later withdraw their consent for prosecution – but it is little wonder when for nearly 40% of all sexual violence cases and 50% of all rape cases wait over 100 days for a decision about what will happen with their case. We know these investigations are complex but disproportionate lack of timeliness compared to other cases and incredibly low charging rates only reinforces the message that violence against women and girls is tolerated in UK society. GRASAC continues in its endeavours not just to support those targeted (mostly women and girls) by sexual violence perpetrators but also to work towards ending sexual violence entirely. Until we have a society where it is demonstrably shown that sexual violence is unconscionable, then GRASAC will continue to operate. As Trustees we know we have incredible staff and volunteers who make life better for so many who need our service and who selflessly help fundraise, educate and assist other services. We are fortunate to have so many amazing people working for us and we thank you all for your contributions. **M A R Y R O B I N S O N & D R L O U I S E L I V E S E Y Co-Chairs of the board of trustees** **27%** **increase in referrals to GRASAC's ISVA service 36% increase in referrals to GRASAC's emotional support services** **38%** **increase in referrals of children to GRASAC's services** **97% of clients rated the support received as excellent** **33% increase in the number of support sessions provided** ## **OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR BY CEO, MAGGIE STEWART** This financial year unfortunately started in a very similar way to last: lockdown, restrictions and GRASAC delivering a service to clients in difficult circumstances. However, on a positive note, GRASAC took advantage of moving premises to more permanent accommodation at a very competitive rent, and to a location that has been universally well received. Clients have been particularly forthcoming in their praise of the surroundings, for example: _‘GRASAC support rooms have been well thought out as it is so private and I particularly liked the ease of parking. Also that I didn't ever see another client in the building, I would be met at the door and I would be shown into the therapy room. I was always greeted with a friendly smile and made to feel important whilst on site. Everything from the location to the décor in the room has been so beautifully thought of and I felt it was so safe and private’_ GRASAC now offers ground floor support rooms, training room, kitchen and bathroom facilities as well as parking for clients and visitors. Donations to the service from individuals and groups have allowed us to equip the 1-1 rooms with new and welcoming furnishings. An early visitor to the new premises was Alex Chalk, QC and MP for Cheltenham. Alex took the time to talk to all members of the team, asking about individual roles and gaining some insight into the complex nature of the work undertaken. The theme of this year’s annual report is based on feedback on the services provided and we have included a number of case studies that will demonstrate the depth and quality of the work undertaken on behalf of clients. **The team provided over 3500 one to one sessions across the service** ## **Staffing the Service** During the year, the team has once again been extended and we have welcomed to GRASAC an additional three Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA's), two working with adults and one exclusively with children and young people. As can be seen from the enclosed statistics, both the ISVA and the Specialist Support Worker (SSW) caseloads' have increased: a 27% increase in referrals to the ISVA service and a 38% increase in referrals to the emotional support service. GRASAC has seen a marked increase in clients reporting complex needs, often exacerbated by the increased timescale of the well-reported ‘Report to Court’. GRASAC’s experience is that this now exceeds three years. In the year to March 2022, the service supported in excess of 1,000 clients. ## **Policy Work** The ultimate aim of the service agreed in the business plan is to live in a world free from sexual violence. Clearly, we are a very long way from reaching this goal. However, we continue to respond to government calls for evidence to influence strategy and have meaningful dialogue with key partners. GRASAC continues to organise the Reclaim the Night March and the event in November drew the biggest crowd to date. GRASAC continues to oppose sexual entertainment licences in venues across Cheltenham and participates in the Communities Partnership board in the town. ## **Partners and Commissioners of GRASAC** We take this opportunity to thank commissioners for their continuous and increased funding that GRASAC has successfully applied for. The Office of Police Crime Commissioner and the Ministry of Justice continue to offer extraordinary funding that is available for charities to apply for during this second year of the pandemic. The NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England also continue to fund essential services, enabling GRASAC to support more clients during the year. Barnwood Trust again offered support to clients suffering financial hardship during the pandemic. Grants were distributed for clothing, food, contribution towards fuel costs and household items, with an average individual grant of £240. ## **Offering Training to Professionals and Educational Establishments** We continue to offer disclosure training to professionals and work in partnership with colleagues at the University of Gloucestershire and the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) to deliver this. During the year, over 280 professionals have accessed the training. GRASAC accepted the invitation to train police officers on the updated Victims Code of Practice and delivered a number of sessions to Gloucestershire Constabulary. Additionally, GRASAC has received many requests from schools and colleges to undertake group work on consent and healthy relationships, some in response to the Everyone's Invited Campaign. In total, the number of students that have attended group presentations and workshops exceeds 650. As a service, GRASAC hopes to expand its reach into preventative work and offer bespoke training in sexual violence to professionals, companies and organisations. This will include Bystander Intervention Training commissioned by the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner. ## **Looking forward to 22/23** As we emerge from the pandemic, we hope that GRASAC can expand on its work with partners to provide a seamless and effective service to everyone that seeks GRASAC’s support in the county. We aim to ensure that all sectors of the community are aware of GRASAC and how it exists to relieve the emotional, psychological and physical distress of people who have experienced sexual violence at any time in their lives. ## **M A G G I E S T E W A R T** **CEO** **Volunteers have given 412 Hours to GRASAC** **On average 52 referrals were received each month** **100% of clients received the support they needed** **100% of clients always felt believed and understood** ## **CASEWORK** The Specialist Support Workers deliver up to 24 sessions of one-to-one support for survivors. GRASAC's team of Independent Sexual Violence Advisors provide specialist advocacy support for clients who are navigating or who are thinking of going through the criminal justice system. ## **SUPPORT PATHWAYS** Support is available through our telephone helpline, face-to-face sessions and via video. There are also ongoing telephone, text and email support services available to meet the clients' needs. ## **FUNDRAISING** The fundraising team is made up of volunteers and staff who have continued to impress everyone with their innovative fundraising ideas and activities. During this year, this has included holding an auction attended by over 100 supporters of the service and hosting a skittles evening in the Forest of Dean. The fundraising group also hosted its first comedy night and raised funds through a number of raffles. Despite ebbing and flowing of restrictions, the fundraisers managed to raise over £7,000, a remarkable achievement. Thanks must also be extended to individuals who have given one-off donations or give regularly through the bank. We also kindly received a donation of over £4,000 from the Owl Trust. ## **FEEDBACK FROM CLIENTS AND PROFESSIONALS** 'I have finally found someone who fully listens to everything I say and feel in a non-judgemental manner and she reassured me that it was okay to feel how I feel about things, she has helped me massively in accepting what happened to me and ways to reduce the symptoms of my trauma. She really has been great!' 'I finally had a safe person to discuss uncomfortable, embarrassing or shameful feelings or issues I was having with my body as a result of my trauma.' 'I always feel comfortable coming for my sessions and the atmosphere itself is lovely.' 'My future is no longer defined by the past and I couldn't be happier. 'Clients have been given the gift of choice again.' 'GRASAC quite literally gave myself back to me. Part of me had been put on pause.' 'Thank you for all the love and support you've given me over the last few years.' 'You have given me back hope for the future.' 'I like how you made me feel so believed and like I could trust you with my feelings. Personally I don't think you could do anything better.' 'I feel so much better and I finally feel ready to grow and build myself, rather than constantly dwelling on the past.' 'I chose to do my sessions in the park, a safe and special place, where I walk my dog.' 'I can now see a life without fear and without viewing myself as a victim.' ## **FINANCIAL OVERVIEW** **In 2021-22 GRASAC's funders were** **Donors also include the Owl Trust.

You have guided me into the place I am in today and I am not exaggerating when I say I may not have still been here if it was not for you. Thank you for always listening and understanding me." Client had experienced recent sexual violence, and as a result was experiencing flashbacks, night terrors and was frightened to leave the house. Client was also struggling with low self-esteem, which was impacting on her relationship with her partner. Through the 24 sessions that we worked together, client was able to process the trauma that she had experienced, in which there was also a trauma bond, which was very challenging as the client felt shame and guilt for these feelings. Client was able to talk openly about her childhood and her relationship with her father, which she said that she had not openly talked to anyone about. Client was able by the end of the sessions to write a ‘letter to the perpetrator’, which she read out in one of our last sessions. She then said that she was going to ‘destroy’ it as she felt that she was able to ‘let it go, she had ‘found a peace and was able to start the new chapter of her life’. ## **Case Study 2** Client experienced recent sexual abuse when she was referred. Over this time the client has struggled with waiting for updates and dealing with her emotions around the investigation. She has praised GRASAC for their support through this and said she wouldn’t know what she would do without the support from the ISVA. The client has also experienced financial hardships which the ISVA has been able to help with. The client has expressed her gratitude for GRASAC'S support multiple times The client has had issues in the past in relation to financial abuse and through the ISVA service, she was supported in being guided in what actions to take with this and how she can stay safe. Work with the client has also included healthy relationships and safety planning. The client now feels a lot more confident with getting to know people and the warning signs to look for, as well as recognising what she wants from a relationship and making sure to prioritise this. The client explained how doing this made her feel strong and empowered to be independent and focus on her own needs and wishes. ## WHO AND HOW WE HELP **----- Start of picture text -----**

**23% of clients reported multiple incidents of sexual violence** **35% of clients identify as having a disability** **9% of clients reported experiencing sexual violence as a child and adult** **60% of clients reported to the police** **55% of clients identified as having a mental health need** ## **CASE STUDIES** ## **Case Study 3** A client was referred into the service in 2020. She was a survivor of a sexual assault as an 11-year-old by a family friend. She was one of several clients that GRASAC supported that related to the same criminal investigation. Due to the timing of the referral the client was supported regularly, at her request, by telephone. The hearing was in October 2021 in one of the Nightingale Courts in Cirencester. The perpetrator was found guilty on all charges. The ISVA attended at Gloucester Crown Court at the end of October 2021, with the clients, the CPS prosecuting Barristers, Judge and the Officer in Charge for sentencing. The survivors had their victim impact statements read out by the prosecuting barrister. The perpetrator was placed on the sex offenders register for life, sentenced to a total of 28 years and can never contact the survivors. This was also the first time all the survivors had heard all the statements, for themselves and the others, in full. ## **Case Study 4** During support sessions the client felt confident to disclose that she had also been affected by sexual violence during childhood. The client said she had accessed therapeutic support in the past but felt that it didn’t change the way that she has been feeling. The recent event of rape meant that client had started experiencing flashbacks and intense anxiety. Support varied in terms of exploring trauma as well as helpling with housing issues, foodbank vouchers and exploring healthy relationships. The client had reported that she had been feeling up and down during support, however she also started noticing changes in herself in terms of confidence, self esteem, self soothing and coping strategies. The client is now able to recognise ‘red flags’ in relationships and she no longer feels she has to tolerate unhealthy, toxic behaviour. The client advised she wanted to look after herself physically and mentally and has made positive changes in terms of being more physically active, going for walks and joining the gym. The client reported she is beginning to recognise her own value and is generally feels better in herself and this transfers onto her new found ability to implement positive parenting strategies,. All session were face to face either at the Centre or in ‘walking and talking’ that the client indicated was very beneficial. ## **TRUSTEES** **Gloucestershire Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre's board of trustees meets bimonthly and is an active team in all aspects of GRASAC's work from policy making to volunteering.** ## **Mary Robinson – Co-Chair** I am an independent consultant in the international development sector.
