The Joe Peters Foundation of Survivors

To close its services due to the lack of financial support from government

10 years today (Our anniversary)

24th July 2010

Dear Friends,

The Foundation of Survivors is a non-profit organisation, due to the recession and funding issues we had to restrict our services by 80% we only able to give email support to children and adults from now on, we been helping children and adults since 1999 and also offering a range of referral services for counseling young people, unfortunately and beyond my control I failed miserably to get funding through larger charities and donations from businesses.This is because of times we all live in and the recession.

It’s a great sadness the foundation I ran for 10 years that was true to my heart is closing its services from the effect of 24th July 2010;

Whilst I will always be dedicated to helping both children and adults that have suffered childhood abuse, I can only help with restricted services. Our Freephone support has gone. If you are a child in need email:- abuse@crysilenttears.co.uk

I would like to apologise to all that have used our service that we no longer can give Freephone support.

I would like to thank everybody for their help and support over the 10 years and to all my many friends for doing their best for the foundation.

God bless

Mr. Joe Peters
