Fundraising

💜 Support Survivors. Change Lives.

Raise vital funds to support victims and survivors of sexual harm.

BSARCS is the only specialist charity in Barnsley supporting both adults and children who have experienced sexual harm. Each year, we support over 1,500 individuals — and with your help, we can reach even more.

Your donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Every penny helps provide safety, support, and hope to someone who needs it.

🌟 How Your Support Helps

Your contribution directly funds the services survivors rely on every day:

  • £5 – Helps a client travel to a safe space for their counselling appointment
  • £10 – Provides essential supplies for creative, therapeutic play with children
  • £20 – Supports wellbeing and recovery through group crafts and activities

“BSARCS helped me understand how my childhood trauma shaped my adult life — and gave me the tools to cope and begin to heal.”

💪 Fundraise Your Way

Whether you want to take on a fitness challenge, host a bake sale, stream online, or get creative from the comfort of your home — your fundraiser can make a big impact.

You can fundraise:

  • Solo or with friends
  • At your school, college, or university
  • Through your workplace or community group

And you won’t be alone — we’ll support you every step of the way with:

  • Fundraising ideas and inspiration
  • Customisable resources and guidance
  • Friendly encouragement from our team
