The purpose and overall aim of the fund is for survivors to live a safe and healthy life, with improved wellbeing. We recognise that support can come in a range of different forms to respond to the diverse needs associated with childhood abuse.
Funding will strengthen existing third sector organisations which support adult survivors of childhood abuse. This fund aims to sustain and build upon current service provision. Priority will be given to programmes of work which continue and/or improve an existing service for adult survivors of childhood abuse.
