The overarching aim of the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASASF) is to provide holistic, trauma-informed, survivor-led support to victims-survivors who have experienced rape or sexual abuse at any point in their lives, regardless of where they live in England and Wales or whether they report the crime to the police.
This means providing support that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of victims-survivors of rape and sexual abuse – to help them to cope, build resilience, and move forward with their lives.
Recommissioning this fund for 2023 to 2025 is a Rape Review commitment.
The Ministry of Justice has published details of the 62 organisations that have been awarded funding for the period August 2023 to March 2025. Awards range from £76,944 to Herts Rape Crisis to £1,121,907 to the Survivors’ Network.
