About Survivors Corner CIC
Built by survivors, for survivors
Who We Are
Survivors Corner CIC is a survivor-led, trauma-informed support service for people affected by domestic abuse who are navigating the UK family court system.
We were founded to fill a gap: while legal advice and domestic abuse services exist, many survivors go through family court without consistent emotional and peer support.
Why We Exist
The family court system can feel overwhelming, isolating, and unsafe for survivors. Many feel unheard, unsupported, and retraumatised during proceedings.
Survivors Corner CIC exists to provide specialist emotional and peer support, helping survivors feel stronger, heard, and empowered throughout their family court journey.
Our Approach
We are grounded in lived experience, which means we understand the realities of navigating family court as a survivor of domestic abuse.
Our support is:
- Trauma-informed – prioritising safety and understanding
- Peer-based – support from those who understand the journey
- Confidential – providing a safe, respectful space
- Specialist – focused specifically on family court
We help survivors:
- Feel heard and believed
- Talk openly without judgment
- Build confidence to advocate for themselves and their children
Our Mission
To ensure no survivor faces the family court system alone.
We provide specialist, trauma-informed, survivor-led support to those navigating or preparing to navigate family court.
Our Vision
A world where every survivor of domestic abuse feels supported, empowered, and safe while navigating the family court process.
We aim to bridge the gap between legal systems and emotional support, ensuring survivors never feel isolated.
Our Values
S – Safety – Emotional, physical, and digital safety is our priority for every survivor we support.
C – Confidence – We empower survivors to feel confident advocating for themselves and their children.
C – Compassion – We provide understanding, respect, and empathetic support at every stage of the family court journey.
Our Commitment to Equality
At Survivors Corner CIC, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful space for all survivors.
We recognise that domestic abuse affects people of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, abilities, and backgrounds. We strive to:
- Ensure equal access to support for everyone navigating the family court system
- Treat every individual with dignity, respect, and compassion
- Challenge discrimination and barriers within our service and in the wider system
- Continuously learn, adapt, and improve to meet the diverse needs of survivors
We believe that diversity strengthens our service and that every survivor deserves to feel supported, heard, and empowered.
