ABOUT US

Rape and Abuse Support Aberdeen and North East (RASANE) was established in 1993 as Aberdeen Rape Crisis. The service was provided by a small group of volunteers who were respnsible for running the whole organisation. In 2005 our hard work was recognised by the Scottish Executive and we were able to employ staff. We are also funded by Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council.
