Helping survivors move on with their lives.

The Maggie Oliver Foundation (TMOF) exists to create a society where survivors and those at risk of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) are empowered to live fulfilled and successful lives, and where every survivor is treated with dignity, respect and as an equal and valued member of society.

We can only provide emotional support and legal advocacy to those who are based in United Kingdom.

About the foundation

We want to help adult survivors and their loved ones to transform the pain of their abuse into power, by being supported to identify their strengths, adopt constructive coping strategies, increase self-confidence, and create and embrace positive life chances.

Without support, survivors and their loved ones are often isolated and alone, with no knowledge of where to turn for the help and advice they need to begin rebuilding their shattered lives. TMOF provides a safe place for survivors to be heard, and to use their experiences to campaign for a criminal justice system that is fit for purpose in achieving the justice they deserve.

The story so far

We work alongside adult survivors of CSAE in a variety of ways including through our listening ear Pain into Power phoneline, advocating for them through any legal process, referring to other services and through trauma-focused group therapy.

Recent Feedback

"I contacted the Foundation after watching a recent BBC documentary on football abuse. The Foundation has been brilliant from the initial call I received through to the volunteer. The one-to-one support is what I needed having been pushed away from other organisations I feel were dysfunctional and unsupportive in what they were offering."

A Survivor
"I feel that I am normal. The therapy has changed my entire life... I have known for years, I was in a toxic relationship... by the end of the 12 weeks, I had found the confidence to end the relationship, and I have never looked back. I have also found the strength, to move out of the area I live in, to start a new life for me and my child. I don’t need support calls anymore, as I now have the strategies to manage, but I know you are always there. Thank you isn’t enough!"

A Survivor
"The service she has received so far is invaluable and is supporting her health and wellbeing. In addition, she has, for the first time, felt empowered to speak up and seek justice for herself and other children and women who are suffering sexual abuse from the same group of perpetrators."

Parent of a survivor
"Without the involvement of The Maggie Oliver Foundation and their numerous daily phone calls and emails, our granddaughter’s plight would have been buried and forgotten forever. I dread to think of how many victims and families have indeed gone by the wayside because they never knew of the wonderful ‘Maggie Oliver Foundation’."

The Baird Inquiry reveals BARBARIC treatment of vulnerable individuals by Greater Manchester Police

In the summer of 2023, The Maggie Oliver Foundation (TMOF) spotted a concerning pattern of the arrest, detainment and inhumane treatment in custody by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) of several survivors of sexual violence who it had been supporting for a number of years. All of these women had reported sexual offences and complained about GMP’s investigation of these crimes prior to their arrests. It appeared to us that these were being used as tools by the police to intimidate vulnerable victims who dared to speak out about their poor experiences of the force.
