What If the Next Step Was Simply Walking Through the Door?

Recovery doesn't have to happen alone. At SAIL, our Men's and Women's Support Groups have been helping survivors connect with others who understand for many years. For some, the thought of joining a group can feel daunting—but many of those who now attend tell us they almost didn't come. Support groups offer a safe, confidential and trauma-informed space where you can listen, share when you're ready, and connect with others who have experienced similar journeys....

Every survivor deserves to be seen, heard and believed.

At SAIL, we provide specialist, trauma-informed counselling for Derbyshire residents aged 14+ who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, in**st or sexual violence.

Every client is offered up to 26 one-hour counselling sessions, delivered by specialist counsellors who work at a pace that's right for each individual. Beyond counselling, we also offer opportunities for continued support through group work and creative therapies.

Our goal is to help survivors thrive, not just survive.

Watch our short video to learn more about the support we provide.

Fundraising Update from Amna!

Our incredible fundraiser, Amna, is now **9 weeks away** from the Robin Hood Half Marathon!

This week, Amna achieved a **2026 personal best** for her 5K, finishing in **26:12** (5:14/km pace). She's also continuing to build her mileage carefully as she recovers from a previous knee injury—showing that progress is about consistency, patience, and determination.

Every mile Amna runs is helping to raise funds so that more survivors can access specialist support through SAIL.

If you'd like to support Amna or follow her fundraising journey, you can find out more on our website https://www.sailderbyshire.org.uk/supporting-sail-amnas-robin-hood-half-marathon-fundraiser/ and donate via her JustGiving page.

Thank you, Amna—we're all behind you!

We exist to enable survivors of current and historical sexual abuse and in**st to live safe lives in which they can recover and thrive.

“Your charity truly changed my life and helped me through the most difficult period I have ever experienced.”

We are so grateful to Amna for sharing her story and for choosing to support SAIL by taking on the Robin Hood Half Marathon in just 11 weeks’ time.

After receiving support from SAIL in 2023, Amna wanted to give back and help ensure other survivors can access the specialist support they need.

Her fundraising has already been incredible — reaching her original £500 target within just eight hours! She is now aiming to raise £2,080 to help fund a full course of counselling support.

If you would like to support Amna’s challenge and help SAIL continue supporting survivors, you can donate here:
