how we do it
We are a grassroots, people-led organisation.
Our work and our success relies on volunteers coming forward from all walks of life to help us reach survivors, hear their stories, and help them rebuild their lives.
We are looking for:
Survivors who are willing to share their stories.
Community Organisers, to help us build and manage local action and support groups.
Community Volunteers to run drop-in groups for survivors and campaign for justice in their areas.
Therapists to help us support survivors.
Researchers and Archivists to gather information about the grooming gangs and make it accessible to the public.
Lawyers who can advise us on what to make public.
Bloggers, Podcasters, and Social Media whizzes to help us spread the word.
We can no longer wait for someone else to take action.
Together, we can uncover the truth and fight for justice.
