The Story So Far


Our founder and Chair, Maggie Oliver is best known as the Detective-turned- whistleblower who resigned from Greater Manchester Police in late 2012 in order to expose the now infamous Rochdale Grooming Scandal. Her ability to connect with people and encourage them to speak out against injustice paired with her grit and determination to expose the truth eventually led to her becoming a Programme Consultant on the multi award-winning dramatisation of the case entitled Three Girls (BBC One) which brought some of the issues to public attention for the first time. Maggie was also a key contributor to The Betrayed Girls documentary (BBC One).

Our Values


Maggie’s relationship with the victims of child exploitation continues to this day, still fighting for justice for survivors of sexual abuse. In 2019, she established The Maggie Oliver Foundation (TMOF) with the focus on helping survivors to transform their Pain into Power.
Maggie has set her vision in motion, building an amazingly caring, supportive and understanding team. A team who all share the same values and a fierce determination to make a real difference in the lives of survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

The values that drive us

  • Kindness
  • Empathy
  • Honesty
  • Fairness
  • Trust
  • Human Decency
  • Justice

Our Mission


TMOF’s mission is to empower survivors of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) to create a positive ripple effect through society. Survivors are supported on their recovery journey (improved wellbeing, life choices and prospects) and build the strength and resilience to support others on their path to recovery. Sharing of their experiences of how the criminal justice system and statutory services have failed them leads to improved practices when dealing with victims of CSAE and as a result, more victims feel safe and confident in seeking justice. By sharing our stories and experiences we expose and address injustice, misuse of power and corruption wherever we find it.

Please note, our team are taking a short break over Christmas as will not be checking emails regularly. We'll respond once we are back on Tuesday 3rd January. Thank you for understanding.
