Somerset and Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support (SARSAS) offer a specialist support service to people aged 13 and over in Somerset who have suffered from any kind of sexual abuse at any time in their life.

This includes access to a confidential helpline, regular support sessions, counselling, and email support to individuals. They can also offer training and advice to professionals.
