MEN are needed for a group being set up by Worcestershire Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre to give support to people whose partners are suffering the effects of rape and sexual abuse.

POSS (Partners of Survivors Support) will provide support, help and information to people finding it difficult to support and understand partners and have been traumatised by their partner's struggles and experiences with the effects of sexual abuse.

POSS needs volunteers to help in the work, men or women are welcome to apply and there are many areas in which POSS would be grateful for voluntary help, either through support for individuals, running the service, fundraising or helping with publicity.

Anyone interesting in volunteering can call 01905 611655.

People seeking help to deal with the effects of rape and sexual abuse can call the centre on 01905 724514. Telephone support, information and face to face support can be provided.
