Story

We are holding a Prize Draw to raise money for Fresh Start New Beginnings. 

About Fresh Start New Beginnings: FSNB is a charity which support children who have disclosed being sexually abused across Norfolk and Suffolk. They provide specialised therapy and support to the children as well as support for the family/guardians. I was a service user of this charity myself almost 10 years ago and the support they gave me was life changing. I went from not being able to leave my house to now being in the full-time job and having a relatively normal life. Unfortunately, the therapy they provide is not available on the NHS, so this is the only specialised treatment available for young survivors of sexual abuse. It costs £2500 for each child to go through the program and many end up needing further support down the line. I had to go back a second time when I was 18 as my PTSD started to return which had an impact on my everyday life. There are over 200 children referred each year and the numbers are continuously rising, especially after covid where many families were stuck inside together. Please donate to this amazing charity which changes the lives of the children they support.
