Video: What CAAGe is and does
Why give?
COSTS
Stage one:
We want to cover our costs. Up until now they’ve been met by campaigners from their own pockets.
Stage two:
We want to develop a private forum for people who have been groomed and their families to talk safely - the off the shelf forums we’ve found are not secure enough for us to trust.
Our research is showing that this is the single most asked for thing to help victims.
Stage three:
We’d like to bump up our own legal and insurance support.
SUBSIDIES FOR VICTIMS
Stage Four:
People who call CAAGe often need help that we can’t offer financial support with.
For example, we would like to be able to help part subsidise some counselling for those who really can’t afford it (and as our research shows, many victims who’ve been groomed lose their jobs, homes or been ripped off). This counselling or legal help could help put their lives back on track).
We need to be able to call upon top level legal advice to help us offer the best possible support to callers. To bump up the advice on our website. to protect us if anything goes wrong. (we do rattle a lot of cages!)
CHARITY STATUS
And once we have an turnover of £5,000 (£5k), we can apply for charity status, which, in turn will be able to apply for certain types of funding and more.
Immediate Need Appeal
Due 7 November, 2025: website hosting £244 for the year.
Our website, with little to no promotion, helps at least one person every ten minutes find the information or support they need, from identifying grooming to working out what’s happened, from referring them the right people to help them, to contacting us via email or by phone - almost 1000 people a week this month alone.
Get started
We can only say thank you for being among the first people to donate to CAAGe, and help people to stand up to groomers, navigate the legal system, and rebuild their lives.
Giving FAQs
-
CAAGe has been self funded for seven years. We can’t offer all of the services that we want.
We have decided to aim for charity status to be able to apply for funding and receive extra benefits. To do this we need to show an income of £5k
-
Our operating costs are low, but that’s largely thanks to those who donate their time and expertise.
We need to professionalise, set priorities and be in a position to make a greater impact than at present.
Our board will help decide where money gets allocated and we hope to take on an administrator to reduce the risk of us missing any calls for help, which we’re conscious has happened in the past.
-
We could, and we know we make a difference.
However, we barely scratch the surface. Our costs (like everyone’s) are rising, and the number of people we are helping is increasing.
We want to do more, and to be able to pay for professional support.
The pressure on our team is high, and we need to ease that .
-
Always.
We started life as a volunteer organisation and like many charities will continue to do so.
It will be easier for us to recruit and manage those volunteers with better funding, paying their expenses, and providing the technology we need to communicate.
There is so much work to do. We barely scratch the surface.
