Wellington and District
The Holly Project is a free support service for survivors of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) run by YMCA Wellington.
This award winning service is run by people with lived experience of CSE, either directly or as a family member of someone with lived experience. We really understand the impact and effects of CSE - physically and emotionally.
Alongside that support, we also deliver training and awareness sessions to local organisations to help professionals understand not only the signs of CSE but also the impact it has on every aspect of an individual's life and how best you can support victims, survivors and families who are or have previously been through CSE.
YMCA enables people to develop their full potential in mind,
body and spirit. Inspired by, and faithful to our Christian values,
we create supportive, inclusive and energising communities
where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.
