Role
There has never been a more critical time to support work to stop violence against women.
Rape and Sexual Abuse Service Highland (RASASH) is a charitable organisation based in Inverness that covers all the Highland area.
Affiliated to Rape Crisis Scotland, RASASH was set up to:
• Provide accessible, appropriate, and high quality emotional and practical support, information and advocacy for survivors, their non-abusing partners, family and friends.
• Work towards the prevention and ultimately the elimination of sexual violence, supporting social change by raising awareness and understanding of rape and sexual violence, challenging myths, and campaigning.
• Work with others to improve the way society, organisations and agencies respond to survivors of sexual violence.
RASASH is a vibrant and growing charity committed to supporting survivors of sexual violence across Highland. You can make a difference and contribute to this work to prevent sexual violence.
About being a Board Member:
Board members will play a critical role in the future development and governance of the service. We would also welcome candidates with a future interest in taking on the role of the chair. Working to feminist values, we are seeking a diverse range of women with a commitment to the work we do across Highland. Values, ethos, passion, and commitment are essential qualities for our board members. We are particularly interested in applicants from less represented groups and those with knowledge and experience of finance, funding, governance, and strategy
