Somerset Phoenix Project

A specialist service supporting children, young people and their families who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.

We also support the professional development of the workforce across Somerset through consultation & training.

Our goal is to empower others to join us in mitigating the negative impact of child sexual abuse on the lives of children and families living in Somerset, so they can rebuild & thrive.

A Poem by a Young Person

19 Aug 26

When the world feels far too heavy and your light is hard to find, please remember storms grow tired they do not own the sky.

You are more than anxious moments, more than hurt, more than fear.
And even on your quietest days,
your presence matters here.

So rest when you need resting,
cry when tears need to fall.
Healing is not being perfect
it’s choosing to stay through it all

To Myself.
