Jocelyn Anderson, chief executive officer of West Mercia Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre (Image: WMRSASC) AT a recent meeting I was discussing how difficult it can be to fundraise for an organisation that deals with such a sensitive issue and how people shy away from the topic, particularly when we are talking about the abuse of children and how we support those as young as five.

This KinderCamp program introduces children who didn’t have access to preschool to the classroom for four weeks in the summer. United Way runs the program in partnership with several local groups.
