if Only… is a charity that was set up to provide help for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA).

1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men – these are the statistics that have been provided by those who have been courageous enough to report the horrendous crimes committed against them. (The true figures are probably far higher). How shocking is that?

The devastating effects of CSA are not only unbearable to the child at the time of the abuse, but they continue to affect the survivor for their entire life.

Through personal experience, we discovered how difficult it is for adult survivors to get the help they desperately need to process their trauma and continue their healing journey.

if Only… was founded by a survivor to offer support to other survivors and to raise awareness to everyone else about how we can help.

if Only… is run on a voluntary basis. All funds raised are used to help survivors.
