Our Story
Survivors Space began after one of our members experienced their own resurfaced trauma and began to disclose their own experiences of Historic Childhood Sexual Abuse. During this difficult period and through trying to access support it became clear that the support in the Lothians and Edinburgh wasn’t available.
