One in Four offers support for people who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual violence. Research has consistently shown that 1 in 4 children will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18.

What could you do that would really challenge you?

Run your first 10K. Walk 25km. Cycle further than you’ve ever cycled before. Take on a marathon. Or set yourself a challenge entirely of your own.

When you fundraise for One in Four, that personal challenge becomes part of something much bigger.

The money you raise helps us provide specialist support for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

And every time you tell someone why you are fundraising, you help us do something else that matters enormously: break the silence and raise awareness of childhood sexual abuse and its lasting impact.

You don’t need to be an athlete. You don’t need to raise thousands of pounds.

You just need to decide to start.

What will your challenge be?

Success in therapy is a combination of factors.

Such as the

readiness of the client

relationship with the therapist

techniques and modality used in the course of the therapy.

As much as 30% of the success is due to the relationship between client and therapist and 15% to the modality of the therapist.

This is why, at One in Four, we take the time and care to select and train our volunteers and, most importantly, to match our clients with a therapist to ensure support and success on their journey toward post-traumatic growth.

We favour humanistic approaches such as Person Centred, Integrative and Gestalt as they place an emphasis on the relationship, raising awareness and developing techniques to support self-regulation and a better understanding of trauma and the impact it has on our clients’ lives.

We offer two years because we understand that building trust is the cornerstone of a successful relationship, and as mentioned above, 30% of the success lies within this powerful relationship.

We want our clients to become their best support and to thrive by the time their therapy comes to an end.

At One In Four, we provide support to survivors.

As a charity, we are reliant on donations.

It’s not too late to take on a challenge for One in Four this summer.

Could you walk 10km?

Push yourself to 25km?

Or take on something even bigger?

There are still events taking place this year – including the London Summer Walk on 22 August – with distances and options for different levels of experience.

You don’t have to be an ultra-athlete.

You can walk, jog or run, and every step you take can help One in Four continue to provide specialist support for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

A challenge is about pushing yourself. Fundraising for One in Four gives you another reason to keep going when it gets tough.

There’s still time.

Choose your challenge. Start fundraising. Make your miles matter.

Sometimes One in Four’s work takes us beyond the counselling room and into unexpected places.

This summer, we were privileged to work behind the scenes with the cast and creative team of Firebird at Southwark Playhouse – a powerful and unflinching drama exploring grooming, exploitation and the devastating consequences when the systems designed to protect children fail them.

With such challenging subject matter, it was important that the cast had the right support as they stepped into – and out of – roles involving trauma and abuse.

One in Four matched one of our experienced counsellors, Charlotte, with the production, providing specialist insight and support to the cast and crew throughout their work on the play.

The resulting performances received some exceptional reviews, with The Live Review describing Mollie Milne’s performance as Tia as “one of the most devastating portrayals of trauma I’ve seen on stage.”

Our CEO, Islay O’Hara, said: “Such a privilege for One in Four to work in partnership with this production – supporting the cast to deliver a beautiful, authentic performance exploring the legacy of sexual abuse and the power of friendship.”

Raising awareness and increasing understanding of child sexual abuse is an important part of our mission. By sharing our trauma expertise more widely, we can help others approach these difficult subjects with greater knowledge, sensitivity and care.

The Benefits of Keeping a Gratitude Journal 💛

Keeping a journal, especially a gratitude journal, is a simple and powerful practice that can support your mental wellbeing.

Life can often feel overwhelming, and when we’re caught up in difficult emotions or challenges, it’s easy to lose sight of the things that bring us moments of joy or comfort. A gratitude journal invites us to pause and reflect on those moments, no matter how small they may seem.

You don’t need to write long paragraphs.

A few bullet points about what you’re grateful for can make a big difference.

Maybe it’s the warmth of the morning sun, a kind word from a friend, or simply the comfort of a quiet moment with a cup of tea.

These reflections help shift your focus towards what nourishes you, even in the hardest times.

The benefits of keeping a gratitude journal include:
A shift in perspective. Over time, you may find yourself noticing more positives throughout your day.
A sense of calm. Reflecting on what you’re grateful for can ease stress and bring moments of peace.
Greater self-awareness. You might discover what truly matters to you.
Improved mood. Regularly practising gratitude can foster feelings of contentment and joy.

There’s no right or wrong way to keep a gratitude journal.

It’s about finding what works for you, whether it’s writing daily, weekly, or whenever you feel drawn to it.

Let us know if you already have a gratitude journal, or whether you will give it a go?
