Safe Spaces is a free and independent support service for anyone who has experienced abuse by someone in the Church, or through their connection with the Church of England, the Catholic Church in England and Wales, or the Church in Wales.

Run by First Light, Safe Spaces offers confidential, trauma-informed support to people aged 18 and over, regardless of when the abuse occurred or whether the perpetrator is living or deceased. Our trained support advocates provide emotional support, practical guidance and advocacy, helping survivors feel safe, heard and believed.

By fundraising for Safe Spaces, you help us continue to offer this vital lifeline. Your support enables us to provide a safe and personal space for survivors to begin their healing journey, free from judgement and with complete confidentiality.

Together, we can ensure that no one faces abuse alone.

Every donation helps us reach more people and offer the compassionate support they deserve.
