Rape Crisis Legal Case - Court Date!

[IamSarah]

I thought this day would never come. The case has FINALLY been listed at Brighton County Court from 22-30 September 2025.

Thank you so much everyone for the ongoing support, encouragement, gardening and lovely messages.

Looking forward to the case being over and hopefully the right outcome being reached - women having the option of single sex rape crisis therapy.

Keen gardeners please Google Sarah Summers Brighton

Thank you

The £0.00 is correct, I've just had it on mine. Just carry on and the amount will show up as what you pledged. It's to do with the way the system works.

Donated, and as it's been a while since I posted this

STANDING RIGHT BESIDE YOU

I know you probably sometimes feel, you are doing this on your own.
Left to fight the Righteous Mighty(!?!), to get them to atone.

But, if anything these last few weeks have proved beyond a doubt,
for the women here, the one name, that to them does call and shout

is @IamSarah who is fighting for us all, for that most sacred of places,
and the right for ALL US WOMEN to have bloody female spaces!

So we might be faceless names on the mobile in your hand,
but remember, we are with you, fighting bullies of this land.

So when you feel down, think the fight too much and wish the whole thing done,
picture all us women, gardening beside you, in the glorious noontime sun.

We’ll be there to pay the bills, provide moral support; some will hold your hand for real too.
But through the rest of all this shit, remember @IamSarah
WE ARE STANDING RIGHT BESIDE YOU SHOUTING WE ARE SARAH TOO

Whaaat?! That's so weird. And unhelpful. Thank you.

Don't remember that at all from past donations.

Now worried about which buttons I've pressed when, too. Sarah may be doing very well from my this eve! (Which, frankly, is fine - what better cause to duplicate payments too).

Current total:

[Edit - several others typed faster than I did on the £0 thing, so no need for my repeat.]

Thanks both. Paid, although didn't like it - felt like I could be agreeing to anything! It must have been like that for various other donations, too - surprised I can't remember. Maybe was just in a less cynical mood the other times (day full of irritations). 😀

You just tipped it over the £105,000

🎉

(Just kind of hoping the last 10 or so pledges aren't mine as well! 😅)

But no better cause possible if they were. Go, Sarah!

£10 to go!

Done!

£105, 248

Although @YankeeDad is responsible for £195 of the total so far, so technically it would need to be £105,443

Wow thank you so much @YankeeDad!! And all of the gardeners this is wonderful 💐
thank you thank you.

@IamSarahyou are very welcome and I wish you all the best with your case. You are very brave and inspiring in what you are doing for women everywhere. The thanks goes to you really.

Yes, thank you @IamSarah I'm sure the Supreme Court decision will help your case. Not that it needed much help. It was always pretty clear. Your bravery is awesome.

£105,443

That's £2,500 exactly.

😁

Amazing ❤️ I have just read all the comments on the gardening page and had a little cry. Thank you.

JoMarch whoever you are you crack me up 😂 I love the commentary about a certain someone inspiring your donations 😆

I logged on this morning and was delighted to find that the match challenge has been fully met!

I have therefore pledged an additional £2,305 on the crowdfunding platform, which brings my total amount pledged over this Bank Holiday to £2,500.

There is still some way to go to hit the stretch target of £150k. Hopefully not all of that amount will be needed. Perhaps some additional gardening will be feasible closer to the date if it becomes clear that more is needed.

Meanwhile thanks to everyone who stepped up and completed the match, but most of all you, IamSarah, for having the strength and persistence to pursue this case.

Thank you @YankeeDad for giving us all a bit of incentive to donate again to Sarah, it's a very generous thing you did.

Thankyou @YankeeDad !

And thank you @IamSarah too. If you stopped tomorrow and did nothing more than you've done so far I'd still be grateful for what you've done for women by bringing this case. Still wishing you success when your case comes to court!

Thank you so much from me, as well.

Oh wow. Thank you! I donated then lost the thread so I'm really happy to hear the target was met. Thank you for your generosity.

@IamSarah all the best to you. Wonderful, wonderful woman! I've been following for ages and am in awe. Keep at it, great work. We're all behind you. Yes the world has gone a bit mad but you are keeping it sane!!! 🥰💪

Really excellent article from Victoria Smith in the Critic today about women’s boundaries and how enforcing mixed sex spaces doesn’t work.
