Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Service (South Buckinghamshire),

Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Service (South Buckinghamshire), formerly known as Rape Crisis (Wycombe Chiltern & South Buckinghamshire), is a Charity established in 1995. We offer assistance to individuals aged 16 and older in South Buckinghamshire and Slough, regardless of their gender identity.

Our charity is committed to offering cost-free and confidential support and information to survivors of rape, sexual assault, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse, irrespective of their gender or when the incidents occurred. We also provide expertise to aid professionals working in this field and actively campaign for shifts in public attitudes and legal frameworks associated with sexual violence, seeking a more inclusive and just society for survivors.

We provide comprehensive support through a range of channels, including one-time sessions, ongoing face-to-face interactions, online assistance, befriending, and advocacy. Our services encompass in-person and online counselling, along with a dedicated helpline. We extend support to non-abusive friends, family, and professionals. This includes facilitating self-help and relevant group sessions and distributing information to both survivors and professionals. We offer the expertise of an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor. Our initiatives promote abuse prevention, particularly among young people, while also focusing on raising awareness and collaborating with community groups and other agencies. In our advocacy efforts, we strive for changes in laws, systems, structures, and societal attitudes that impact survivors of sexual violence.
