The Vision Statement

PART ONE - For Us

One in Four is run for those who have experienced sexual abuse and by those who have professional experience of working with it.

We will create a space that welcomes each of us as individuals both in and beyond our experience of abuse One in Four UK is a Registered Charity (Charity Number 1081726).

One in Four will be:

1        A space to be together with awareness, acceptance, respect and recognition

2        A place where truth, trust and integrity are a reality

3        An undemanding space free of labels where we are not defined merely as victims, survivors or statistics

4        A place in and of life

5        A place of freedom where it’s OK not to be OK

PART TWO - For and beyond Ourselves.

One In Four will offer an opportunity to each individual to take part in further work. This offer will be made without demand or expectation - each person must have the freedom to fulfil their own needs both inside and beyond themselves. We recognise that for some there will be a need to look beyond personal issues.

Part two of our vision will offer this opportunity:

Together we will both learn and facilitate the learning of others. Through this learning we will secure a future where:

1        No abused child will ever be denied

2        The cold, hard truth of abuse is exposed

3        We recognise that abuse happens to people and it is the person that matters. Any social legal, or medical process must embrace rather than disempower that person.

4        The reality of abuse is every person's responsibility

We can and will achieve these things together.
