Organisations always there to help survivors of abuse

- With Police and Crime Commissioner Clare Moody

SEXUAL abuse and sexual violence cause profound harm, and too often that harm is carried alone. As Police and Crime Commissioner, one of my core priorities is preventing abuse and ensuring that survivors have the specialist support they need to cope and recover.

This Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2026, I want to tell you about some of the remarkable organisations in Avon and Somerset who are there for survivors every day.

One of those organisations is The Green House, a survivor-led charity providing specialist therapy for children, young people and families who have experienced sexual abuse.

Their work is grounded in compassion that creates space for young people to begin rebuilding trust in themselves and in the world around them.

Over the past year, I have been proud to fund their innovative charity providing specialist therapy for children, young people and families who have experienced sexual abuse.
