Until 2024 Survivor Space was known as the Oxfordshire Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre – or OSARCC for short. They still run the same, trauma-informed specialist services for survivors of sexual violence in Oxfordshire, and hope to reach even more people who need their help in the community.
They mostly provide support to self-identifying women and non-binary individuals recorded female at birth, but their Advocacy service is open to survivors of all genders and are working on expanding some of our other services.
Survivor Space is an inclusive organisation which actively challenges discrimination in all its forms, including but not limited to discrimination based on sex, gender identity, race, religion, sexual or romantic orientation, disability, age, and class. They welcome contact from survivors from all walks of life, including people who sell sex and trans gender or non-binary people.
They are members of Rape Crisis (England and Wales) and The Survivors Trust, and work in line with the Rape Crisis National Service Standards which ensure their work is of a high quality.
