About us The Lucy Faithfull Foundation is a UK-wide charity that exists to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. We’re bold, we’re pioneering, we’re growing, and we want your help.
We’re here for everyone who needs us. We protect children by working with people who pose a risk and diverting them from causing harm. We support individuals and families who have been affected by abuse. And we help professionals who work with families to create safer environments for children.
We run the confidential Stop It Now helpline and Shore, a website for teenagers.
We use data and insight, alongside decades of experience, to develop innovative strategies and interventions to make prevention a reality.
We engage with policy and decision makers to advocate for a public health approach to child sexual abuse.
We bring our understanding and knowledge of what keeps children safe to the widest possible audience.
Our values help guide our actions and help ensure we achieve our purpose: we act with integrity, we are collaborative, we are innovative, we are ambitious and we have hope.
Our dedicated and expert staff are based around the UK with offices in Bromsgrove, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Epsom.
