Carl's Raising Awareness for Victims and Survivors of Child Abuse (RAVSCA)
Fundraising for National Association for People Abused in Childhood
Story
I plan to hold a photographic exhibition in which every photograph on display will represent one person that has been subjected to abuse as a child. The exhibition will have a 'wow' and 'shock' factor. When people walk in to the exhibition, I want to create the atmosphere that will make people draw a sharp intake of breath when they truly appreciate the scale of abuse.
As part of the exhibition, information would also be on display such as the types of abuse, information from the charities associated with this project, survivor stories and how abuse effects people for the rest of their lives.
The exhibition also aims to raise money for several charities that support people that have been abused as children. We will support one national charity and several local charities. The exhibition itself would be free, but people would be encouraged to support the charities through Just Giving. If the exhibition is successful, there is the possibility to taking it around the country and in which case we will also raise money for a local charity in the host city.
