Healing Hearts Ball

Healing Hearts: Life After CSE are raising funds for a Survivor’s Ball

Healing Hearts: Life After CSE are raising funds for a Survivor’s Ball - a survivor-led event created specifically for victims and survivors of child sexual exploitation.

For many survivors, moments that should have been joyful - school proms, celebrations, feeling carefree and safe - were never possible because of what they endured. This ball is about giving something back: a day centred on joy, dignity, and connection, in a space designed with care, safety, and understanding at its heart.

All funds raised will go directly towards creating a trauma-aware, supportive environment where survivors can come together, feel believed, valued, and celebrated, and share a moment that belongs to them. It’s not about glamour for its own sake - it’s about restoration, community, and reclaiming joy.

This is a reminder that healing doesn’t always look like quiet endurance. Sometimes it looks like music, laughter, dressing up, and being surrounded by people who truly understand.

Led by survivors Fiona Goddard and Jamieleigh Jones, this initiative brings together survivors from across the UK to create change grounded in lived experience, care, and solidarity. If you’re able to support or share, you’re helping make a moment possible that many survivors never thought they’d have.
