Attend a Sexual assault referral centre (SARC)
If something has happened to you within the last 7 days, you can contact a SARC. They can help with forensic testing and police referrals. If it has been over 7 days there are still many ways in which they may be able to help, so please get in touch.
The SARC for people ages 14 years and older in Sussex is The Saturn Centre.
How we can help
We offer a sensitive and confidential service for anyone who has been sexually assaulted.

We can also discuss options and support you to report to police or attend the sexual assault referral centre (SARC) if this is what you choose.
