One in Four UK is a Registered Charity (Charity Number 1081726).
Our Purpose
One in Four offers a voice to and support for people who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual violence.Research has consitently shown that one in four children will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18.Society has thus far been unwilling to face up to the deep rooted nature of this problem or the sheer scale of the long term damage it leaves in its wake.Our demeterined aim is to change this.
Our Ethos.
One in Four is an organisation run for and by people who have experienced sexual abuse. This means that every person who works within One In Four identifies that they have had a personal experience of sexual abuse at some point in their lives.We exist to give voice to the experience of people who have been sexually abuse and to provide a space that by its very existence challenges feelings of shame and self blame. In the often perceived hopelessness and despair of such trauma the reality of meeting another, one who has undertaken that journey themselves, offers hope and encouragement. The creation of a community that bears witness to the isolating and silenced reality of sexual abuse fundamentally changes that reality.To find out more about our ethos, read our vision statement.
What we do
We provide a unique service to individuals, both directly and indirectly. Directly, through individual therapy and helpline support. Indirectly through campaigning, policy making, in-house research, training, and consultancy work with statutory and non statutory agencies.
