Video: What CAAGe is and does

Why give?

People who call CAAGe often need help that we can’t give free.

We would like to be able to help subsidise counselling for those who really can’t afford it (and as many victims who’ve been groomed lose their jobs, this will help put their lives back on track).

We need to be able to offer, and call upon, top level legal advice.

We want to cover our costs.

And we want to develop a private forum for people who have been groomed and their families to talk safely - the off the shelf forums we’ve found are not secure enough for us to trust.

And once we have an income of £5,000 (£5k), we can apply for charity status, which, in turn will be able to apply for certain types of funding and more.

Get started

We can only say thank you for being among the first people to donate to CAAGe, and help people to stand up to groomers, navigate the legal system, and rebuild their lives.

Giving FAQs

  • CAAGe has been self funded for seven years. We can’t offer all of the services that we want.

    We have decided to aim for charity status. To do this we need to show an income of £5, 000.

    We are setting up a board and will be doing our utmost to be transparent and fair about where your money is going.

  • Our operating costs are low, but that’s largely thanks to those who donate their time and expertise.

    We need to professionalise, set priorities and be in a position to make a greater impact than at present.

    Our board will help decide where money gets allocated and we hope to take on an administrator to reduce the risk of us missing any calls for help, which we’re conscious has happened in the past.

  • We could, and we know we make a difference.

    However, we barely scratch the surface. Our costs (like everyone’s) are rising, and the number of people we are helping is increasing.

    We want to do more, and to be able to pay for professional support.

    The pressure on our team is high, and we want to be able to ease that by being able to get in necessary technology and support.

  • Always.

    We started life as a volunteer organisation and like many charities will continue to do so.

    It will be easier for us to recruit and manage those volunteers with better funding, paying their expenses, and providing the technology we need to communicate.

    It will primarily be professional services that we will use the money for, although we trust we’ll be offered charity rates.
