We provide a range of services from therapy, life skills courses, drop-in sessions, crisis support and befriending to enable survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence and exploitation to take control of their lives; to heal and move forward; and to take an active part in the education of health and wellbeing services in sensitive practice when dealing with victims of childhood sexual abuse and rape.
Why the community needs us
In Nottinghamshire, there are a potential 75,000 survivors of childhood sexual abuse - and that's just the women. We are the only provider of a wide range of holistic services for these survivors - enabling them to take an active part in their lives and those around them. Our support helps survivors to be the people they were supposed to be before they were subject to this heinous crime.
