Purple Pathways: Brighter Futures for Children
WMRSASC has been accepted into the UK’s biggest matched giving campaign – the Big Give Christmas
Challenge 2025. We’re raising vital funds for our Purple Pathways project, which provides specialist support to
children and families affected by sexual abuse, including child-on-child harm.
Why this work matters
Each year in England and Wales, around 500,000 children experience sexual abuse, but many never receive
the support they need. Without early, specialist help, children face trauma, worsening mental health, strained
families, and long-term harm. Our project offers one-to-one support to reduce risk, build resilience, and help
children feel safer and more hopeful about their futures.
What your support helps us do
• Provide counselling, early education on healthy boundaries, and psychosocial education for children showing
harmful behaviours.
• Use risk assessments with children and families to create tailored safety and support plans.
• Work with schools, police, and health professionals to address risks early and deliver joined-up care.
Our Aims
• Support children to recover from trauma through specialist counselling.
• Reduce risk of further harm through early intervention and education.
• Empower parents and carers to support their children’s safety and wellbeing.
• Collaborate with professionals for coordinated, trauma-informed care.
• Help children build confidence, stay in education, and feel hopeful about their futures.
What difference will it make?
Children will feel safer, more understood, and better equipped to cope. Those who have caused harm will learn
healthier behaviours. Families will gain the tools to respond confidently, and schools will feel more supported.
Your pledge helps us build a stronger network of care.
