Through this, you have created an online community which continually welcomes new members and provides a safe space where individuals can take solace and seek to reduce the feelings of hopelessness, loneliness and stigma that are often associated with online sexual offending.

I want to thank you for making the forum a space filled with support, praise, and encouragement despite the difficult situations you find yourselves in. We always welcome contact and feedback from users, so if you would like to reach out, you can do so on: forum@lucyfaithfull.org.uk.

Thank you for providing this safe space for us, it's been so helpful both practically and emotionally. I would have been completely lost without it

Thanks lots for this amazing forum which has helped me process my emotions after my stepson was arrested & move forward with precious advice from others going through similar situations.

Life is full of challenging times we can never predict but knowing I can find support here is vital for my mental health & keeping my family together
