MSAS
MSAS (Male Sexual Assault Support) is a male-specific project that has been introduced to our Kent, Surrey, and Sussex SARCs. Our MSAS Male Outreach Workers engage with various agencies and organisations, who work with and support men and boys, helping to raise awareness of SARC services.
Whilst our SARCs have always been inclusive of all genders, MSAS aims to increase referral rates for men and boys, ensuring that the, often under-represented, group has the knowledge and confidence to seek the important healthcare they need.
MSAS has been developed by men, for men.

SARC Services
Our associated Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) offer a range of support services to anyone living within the Kent and Maidstone, Surrey, and Sussex areas who have experienced sexual abuse or sexual violence, either recently or in the past.
Clients can self-refer without having to involve the Police, it is not necessary for a report to have been made to access our services. We can also, with a client's permission, take initial referrals from other professionals such as, but not limited to, GPs, Emergency Departments, and Sexual Health Clinics.
We also work alongside the Police to support any clients who have chosen to report to the Police.
