Fresh Start new beginnings – Afternoon Tea with special guest speakers

We are delighted to invite you to join us at the Norfolk Showground on Friday 6^th March 2020 at 1.00pm for a very special afternoon tea experience. Fresh Start new beginnings will be joined by four inspiring speakers who will share their own individual insight into sexual abuse in children.   Current figures suggest that over 8,000 children within Norfolk will have been sexually abused.

Fresh Start new beginnings local children’s charity provides therapeutic support to children aged up to 21 years old in Suffolk and Norfolk, who have experienced sexual abuse. By attending this event, you will be able to help us raise awareness of the work of Fresh Start new beginnings and help us work with children who need our help.

Tickets are only £20.00 per person which includes a welcome drink on arrival, the opportunity for a bit of shopping which includes a variety of local stalls offering a selection of beauty products, gifts and wellbeing opportunities before sitting down for your afternoon tea at 2.00pm.

We are delighted to announce we are being joined by some renowned speakers:

Maggie Oliver – Maggie is a former Detective Constable with the Greater Manchester Police. She is known as a whistle-blower for exposing the poor handling of the Rochdale child sex abuse ring case by her own force.

Fiona Broadfoot – Fiona is a sex trade survivor, having been trafficked into prostitution at the age of 15 and now speaks about her experience, challenging the public and professional perception on prostitution.

Minnie Moll – Minnie is the CEO of Jarrold and previously of East of England Co-op. She is an ambassador of Fresh Start new beginnings and speaks of her experiences of sexual abuse and how she has gone on to career success.

Lennox Rodgers suffered brutal physical and sexual abuse from early in his childhood, which caused overwhelming trauma and confusion. As a result, he found himself pulled into a lifetime of crime, operating as a drug dealer, enforcer and robber. One fateful day, he took the brave decision to turn his life around and has since helped countless other young people to do the same.

The afternoon will be compered by Siân Jones, known to many as a regular TV presenter on ITV morning news, Daybreak, as well as Bloomberg, CNBC and more.

1 in 6 children are sexually abused.  1 in 3 children never tell.  Please help us raise awareness of child sexual abuse and how you can help make a big difference to a child’s life.  Help us to give back a child their future.

We hope you can join us for this really special event and thank you for taking the time to read about it.
