The board meets formally 4 times a year (quarterly), and there is an expected commitment of roughly 2 hours a week to maintain your active role as a board member.

ACTS FAST is a Dorset based charity, established in 2014, that supports non-abusive parents, carers and adult family members of children who have been subjected to child sexual abuse (CSA) or sexual assault and adult family members and partners of individuals who have accessed Indecent Images of Children (IIOC). Often referred to as secondary victims of CSA. Delivering services nationally our aim is to lessen the impact of CSA on children, families and the wider community by providing therapeutic support to adult family members that allows them to build a stable foundation that supports recovery for the whole family. We are one of the only five charities in the country who provide this unique support.
