Survivors Manifesto 2025 – In Collaboration with SurvivorsUK

Clients from SurvivorsUK have come together to create the Survivors Manifesto 2025—a powerful, survivor-led statement exploring themes such as Anger, Healing, Justice, Abusers, Joy, and Love. Rooted in lived experience, the manifesto offers bold, honest, and vital perspectives on what it means to survive and thrive.

The manifesto is available to download.  A specially curated live performance of selected extracts—featuring participants alongside our Actors for Human Rights—will take place soon. Follow us on social media for updates and event announcements.

This is not just a performance—it’s a call to listen, learn, and stand in solidarity.

 
 
Origin:
 
In 2022, with support from Awards for All England, we started running creative expression sessions for members of SurvivorsUK: men and non binary survivors of sexual abuse and assault. The group met every two weeks and a variety of arts professionals were invited to lead sessions. The final sharing of work was held in June 2023 with a combination of participants and actors (including Waleed Akhtar and Andrew Garfield).  You can read about the final event here
Feedback from participants:
 
 
 
‘I got too much out of the project to list here – it worked on so many levels…’
 
 
 
‘Got a chance to safely explore, vocalise and creatively express what it means to be a survivor, to talk about my experiences and what it feels like to be to be a survivor. A chance to say that out load on stage.’
