Research & archive
The Survivors' Archive Ltd.
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.
support groups
The Survivors' Retreat CIC
Our first weekly drop-in groups open in Shrewsbury and Liverpool this September.
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.
Our values
Truth
We record survivor testimony and supporting evidence with care and consent, so experiences that were once dismissed are properly documented.
The information is preserved and, where possible, made public to establish responsibility and to reduce the risk of future harm.
Care
We build local support groups that prioritise wellbeing, safety, and human connection.
Our focus is on art and nature-based therapies that allow healing without pressure or exposure.
No one is required to tell their story in order to receive support.
Integrity
We work outside political influence and institutional self-protection.
Our standards for evidence, decision-making, and safeguarding are explicit and publicly available.
Accountability is built into our structure, not dependent on personalities or power.
