The Survivors Trust National ISVA Seminar
Independent Sexual Violence Advisers: Is practice matching expectations?
Feedback from National Seminar, 30th June 2008
The Survivors Trust facilitated a National Seminar in London on 30th June 2008, giving Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs) and Advocacy Workers a valuable opportunity to meet and share experiences of their roles.
The feedback and discussions during the day have produced a Report full of excellent information and comment, which has now been presented to the National Stakeholder Advisory Group on Sexual Violence and Abuse. The Stakeholder Advisory Group is Chaired by Vernon Coaker, Under-secretary of State for Victims and Ann Keen, Under-secretary of State for Health. The Group is also attended by all key stakeholders working with sexual violence and abuse issues.

Charity Gliding Day in aid of RASASC
on
Bank Holiday Monday, 3rd May 2010
at
Surrey Hills Gliding Club, Kenley (near Caterham)
RASASC supports male and female survivors of rape and sexual abuse. We offer confidential
telephone helplines, individual counselling, self-help groups, family support and awareness. It is a
taboo discussion subject, but one in four people are survivors of rape and or sexual abuse - you
never know when someone you know will need our help. So please support us in whatever way you
can. Some 70 dedicated, caring volunteers run all of our services.
Our Information Pack contains a Gliding Information Sheet, Sponsorship Form, Booking Form and
useful advice on how to set up an online sponsorship page. Last year's RASASC Charity Gliding
Day raised £1,500 in funding, which went towards answering 2,300 helpline calls and providing
1,500 hours of individual counselling.
We hope to do even better this year!
