About Us

A leading male survivor-led, male specific, UK sexual abuse charity based in Greater Manchester.

Founded in 2009, the organisation exists to break the silence of the sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation of boys and men, and support them and their loved ones to engage in positive healing, free from the impact of abuse.

The charity aims to:
1) To promote and protect the good health of male survivors of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, alongside those affected by male sexual violation
2) To provide evidence based therapeutic support services to male survivors of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, alongside those affected by male sexual violation
3) To provide qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, specialist and general support workers to support and advise male survivors of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation; alongside those affected by male sexual violation; on how to cope with and move beyond their unwanted sexual experiences
4) To provide education, training and awareness raising campaigns around the issue of the sexual abuse and violation of males of all ages and backgrounds, whilst continuing to learn from our work and respond effectively to new knowledge and identified needs.

The organisation's vision is a society where no male survivor is left behind. #BreakTheSilence #MenToo #MaleSurvivor #HeToo
