Corporate Support
Working with local businesses and organisations is something that we highly value at SARAC. It’s only through in-house education and awareness sessions that we can begin to truly combat sexual abuse within our community.
Corporate support is the vital backbone we need to allow us to continue offering our vital services.

Why Every Business Needs Our In-house Training
As an employer, you have a duty of care to ensure that your team are supported with any mental health or wellbeing issues they may be experiencing.
Compliance & Law
From 26 October 2024, employers will be under a new legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent the sexual harassment of staff at work. This means it is the perfect time to appoint SARAC to ensure your business is adequately equipped to tackle sexual harassment and support anyone who has experienced it.
Responsibility & Culture
Preventing sexual harassment is everyone’s responsibility. By demonstrating that you have a zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment, you will foster a positive work culture where employees feel safe and respected.
Wincanton
Our team’s continual work with Wincanton Screwfix focuses on raising awareness around sexual abuse and rape, and equipping their team with essential tools to support individuals in need.
During the training sessions, we explored the importance of setting boundaries, debunked common myths surrounding sexual abuse and rape, and examined the various reactions that victims of sexual abuse may display.
We want to team up with you.

Become a Corporate Partner
Our services are a lifeline for so many across Staffordshire and beyond. However, our financial support options are becoming increasingly limited. Corporate support is more important to us now than ever, and your support could make all the difference in us being able to continue providing our life changing services.
Why do we need your help?
Without continued funding and financial support, we will not be able to carry on offering the same level of support as we currently do. We also won’t be able to support as many people in need as we currently do.
With the help of local businesses like yours, we can continue to provide essential services to more victims and survivors of sexual abuse and rape within our community.
Both monthly financial contributions and one-off donations have such an impact on our services, and we are grateful for any support.
By becoming a corporate partner for SARAC, you’re not only working towards your corporate responsibility goals, but you’re also investing in the recovery of those who need it most and helping to rebuild lives across Burton, Tamworth, Lichfield, South Derbyshire and beyond.
- Employ more supporters in times of high demand
- Offer more therapeutic support
- Increase training and support for the local communities
- Complete more research projects
- Offer prevention and education programmes and workshops
How do we use donations?
Donations are directed as and where they are needed; this could be projects to assist those who have experience sexual abuse and/or rape, research to inform support practices, and other initiatives that have received partial funding from other sources.
We also use donations to support the work we do, including promoting our services to high-risk groups, supporting counselling professionals, and offering prevention programmes.
