    Jane Naumkin

    Operations Lead

    I’m Jane and I am the Interim Operations Lead at The Maggie Oliver Foundation. I am thrilled to be able to bring my skills to the front as I lead on fundraising, press and media, strategic development, organisational change, and in helping our amazing team with all the day to day operational issues and service delivery - all vital tasks that ensure we at the Foundation are able to offer first class support to adult survivors of sexual abuse.

    I have a long and successful career delivering transformation, people and culture strategies and plans at Board/Executive level in the not-for-profit, public sector – both local and central, as well as commercial and educational sectors.  With my many years of expertise in these areas as well as in HR, I am excited to be able to help the Foundation through the next critical stage of its evolution.

    We have recently been overwhelmed by the incredible public support for our work which followed our Founder Maggie’s work raising our profile even more in the media during January/February 2025. As a result of the amazing generosity of our supporters, funds are now available for us to grow and strengthen our work and our team,  to take us to the next level of our evolution as we streamline and improve our service to survivors. My own professional background and expertise is well suited to this next stage of our development

    I am really looking forward to working with Maggie and the whole team and our partners as we continue to change the lives of those who come to us for help and the lives of those still to get to know us.

  • Charlene Warwick

    Emotional Support and Operations Manager

    As the Emotional Support Manager, I oversee and coordinate all our 'Pain into Power' emotional support services. My responsibilities include conducting all initial screenings for victims/survivors who are seeking our support to determine their suitability for our services and how best we can help. In addition, I am also responsible for recruiting and onboarding our incredible volunteer ambassadors, soon to be a total of 40.

    They are the lifeblood of TMOF, and my role includes conducting all necessary checks to ensure each one is suitable to work with those we support and that their views align with our values, and they will fit well within our amazing team.

    Leading this process means I get to know them very well and hence know instantly which ambassador will be best suited to each survivor we support. This is a key part of my role, and one I take great pride in. It means I can thoughtfully match every survivor with the ambassador best suited to support their individual needs throughout the duration of their time with TMOF.

  • Julia

    Emotional Support Co-Ordinator

    Hello! I am married to Steve and we have 6 grown up children.

    I started my working life, a very long time ago, in advertising and marketing in a production role. Once I had my children I re-trained and eventually enjoyed a new career supporting children with additional needs in a local primary school. This progressed to a further 15 years working within Early Years. I was always drawn to supporting families and left in 2015 to start my own childminding business. I employed my eldest daughter and we enjoyed providing a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment for children where we were able to develop fantastic relationships with lots of wonderful families.

    Despite my background in Education and on-going training in Safeguarding and Child Protection it came as a huge shock to discover that my youngest daughter was a victim of grooming and CSE. She was just 14 years old. This led to heart breaking events around self-harm, overdoses and drug and alcohol abuse. Around this time ‘The Three Girls’ was brought to my attention and that was when I first heard about Maggie Oliver.

    In September 2020 I was devastated to have to close my business due to ill health, so when the opportunity arose to apply to the foundation as a volunteer it felt like perfect timing. I supported survivors on the phone lines, providing that much needed listening ear. For me personally, it was a hugely rewarding experience. Tragically, in November 2021, my beautiful daughter Mary lost her fight. Two weeks before her 21st birthday.

    In March 2022 I was offered a job within the foundation as an outreach worker and I was honoured to accept. Despite my own pain I am determined to carry on raising awareness of CSAE, the failings of the criminal justice system and supporting survivors. Our team is the most amazing group of likeminded people I have ever met. We are going to make a difference!

    Hello, I’m Cecile and I am delighted to join The Maggie Oliver Foundation as the Operations Coordinator.

    I have extensive experience in administrative support and event organisation and bring a wealth of expertise in coordinating behind the scenes operations for TMOF.

    Maya

    Senior Sexual Abuse Advocate

    Hello, my name is Mayameen, but you are welcome to call me ‘Maya’.  

    I am delighted to join the Maggie Oliver Foundation as a Senior Sexual Abuse Advocate and live out my passion and mission supporting and advocating for survivors. I have been working within the field of sexual violence for over 10 years as a Trauma Specialist, Educator and Accredited Trainer.

    My passion is driven through my lived experience as a CSA Survivor. I gained national media attention and recognition when I waived my lifelong anonymity in September 2018, exposing the serial sexual abuse at the hands of my father, during his release from prison after serving just 6 years of his 10-year sentence.

    I have used my survivor voice to successfully pave the way to changes in policies and forcing change within fractured services for better victim protection.

    Proudly taking the TEDx stage, numerous speaker engagements, panel involvement and giving my poignant first-hand account of surviving Child Sexual Abuse in my Channel 5 Documentary.

    In 2020, I was honoured to be awarded the prestigious British Empire Medal (BEM) for my services to child victims.

    The Maggie Oliver Foundation is survivor-led, and it is an honour to be on this incredible Journey, leveraging my extensive experience and expertise to turn pain into power, with such an amazing team.

    Mary

    Senior Sexual Abuse Advocate

    My name is Mary and I am immensely proud to be part of the staff team at The Maggie Oliver Foundation as a Senior Sexual Abuse Advocate. I am able to put my knowledge and my experience as a former police officer to good use in this role, advocating for all those who come to us often having been failed by ‘the system’.

    I completed a hugely rewarding and successful 30-year career within policing where I worked as a Detective on extremely challenging investigations whilst supporting victims through some of the most traumatic events of their life. I worked across many areas of policing but the area I was always drawn back to was that of Public Protection where I was able to support both children and adults who had experienced sexual abuse and exploitation.

    This work gave me great insight into the intricacies and standards of how an investigation should be handled as well as the judicial process. As an experienced investigator, I witnessed first-hand the devastating impact such investigations would often have on victims as well as family members desperate to support their loved one, especially when they were not being treated fairly or empathetically.

    It can be a lonely and confusing path for victims navigating these complex, lengthy and sometimes hostile processes alone……and so my role with TMOF allows me to ensure survivors are supported with compassion throughout their journey.

    I am naturally a curious individual and after concluding my policing career, I embarked upon therapeutic training to better understand the impact of trauma on those I supported. I have since gone on to share my skills and experience within sport, education and within the safeguarding arena and continue to develop my knowledge.

    I was originally a volunteer Ambassador for over a year on the emotional support side of our service before becoming a staff member. I felt I had found my vocation again as I love engaging with the survivors who come to us for help, although I was often dismayed when I heard their personal stories. Working now on the advocacy side to understand their experiences whilst helping them to find justice, is one of the most rewarding roles I have ever done within my career. With my background I feel I am well suited to be able to help them navigate ‘the system’ through difficult and challenging circumstances.

    Working with The Maggie Oliver Foundation in this unique role has provided me with a fantastic opportunity to continue my drive and motivation to support others. Drawing upon my extensive experience to ensure that every survivor who comes to us is empowered to make their own decisions and decide what is right for them.
