The Abuse was Ignored.

Children Paid the Price.

We research group-based child sexual exploitation and offer support to survivors.

Because you cannot heal what has never been seen.

OUR WORK

Two approaches… One purpose

01
The Survivors’ Archive Ltd

Research and Record

We are building the most comprehensive independent resource on group-based child sexual exploitation in the UK, gathering official inquiries, journalistic articles, NGO’s reports, FOIs and more.

Alongside it, we publish original research examining what was known, when it was known, and what the evidence can actually tell us – from a neutral standpoint, without a predetermined conclusion.

Help us. Anyone can contribute evidence, and we publish ongoing research as the record grows.​

The Survivors’ Retreat CIC

Support Groups

Our first weekly drop-in groups are due to open in Shrewsbury and Liverpool from around Autumn 2026.

They are gentle, unhurried spaces built around art, nature, and human connection. You will never be asked to tell your story, prove what happened to you, or do anything except turn up – and even that is always your choice.

Everyone who welcomes you has been trained by an experienced therapist and is properly supported in the work.

If you’d like to know when the doors open, leave your details and we’ll let you know.
