What survivors say
S.H.E. UK. is a UK Registered Charity based in Nottinghamshire that offers a holistic range of support services for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, exploitation, and sexual violence.
Our mission is to improve the lives of victims of childhood sexual abuse and sexual violence.
Our vision is that survivors are met with compassion and openness, in a world where childhood sexual abuse is exposed, tackled and not associated with feelings of shame.
We support. We empower survivors to rebuild their lives by providing long term, tailored support & development
We educate. We work with others to improve the support structures for survivors, by raising awareness, training and campaigning
We connect. We enable survivors to thrive, by connecting them to peer networks and wider support services in their community
Our History
S.H.E. UK was founded in 1998 by Jacqui Lewis and Ezzie Bainbridge, who discovered a severe lack of a holistic approach to the devastating effects of childhood sexual abuse. Jacqui is now a trustee. As the years have passed, our services have developed from a simple meeting of women with shared experiences to a range of services supporting all genders and non-abusing family members. From immediate telephone support, 1:1 therapy, self-development courses and our weekly female SHE-roes peer lounge group.
