Oliver founded the Maggie Oliver Foundation for the survivors of the Rochdale abuse scandal.

 

Oliver founded the Maggie Oliver Foundation for the survivors of the Rochdale abuse scandal. The mission of the foundation is to "transform pain into power." The foundation is planning on opening a network of "Maggie Oliver Centres" for women. It is intended to be run by volunteers and survivors of the scandal. In the house support will be given to those who have been affected by sexual abuse. They will receive help to access support, legal advice, therapy, training and education. Oliver is also a public speaker raising awareness on sexual abuse perpetrated by organised grooming gangs.[citation needed] Oliver regularly appears on the ITV programme Loose Women. There she started the Never Too Late To Tell campaign in December 2016, which encourages all survivors of sexual assault to speak out about what happened to them. On the programme she gave further advice on recording evidence, having an open dialogue with children, monitoring technology, enlisting help and looking for changes in children's behaviour as signs of abuse.

 

The Story So Far

Our founder and Chair, Maggie Oliver, is best known as the detective-turned-whistleblower who resigned from Greater Manchester Police in late 2012 to expose the now infamous Rochdale Grooming Scandal.

 

Maggie’s exceptional ability to connect with survivors and encourage them to speak out against injustice combined with her courage, determination, and unwavering commitment to the truth played a vital role in bringing the scandal to light.

 

Her work led to her role as a Programme Consultant on the multi-award-winning BBC One dramatisation Three Girls, which helped raise public awareness of the case for the first time. Maggie was also a key contributor to the critically acclaimed BBC One documentary The Betrayed Girls.

 

Our Values

Maggie’s commitment to supporting victims of child exploitation continues to this day, as she remains a tireless advocate for justice and change. In 2019, she founded The Maggie Oliver Foundation (TMOF), with a mission to help survivors transform their pain into power.

 

Maggie has set her vision in motion, building an amazingly caring, supportive and understanding team. A team who all share the same values and a fierce determination to make a real difference in the lives of survivors of childhood sexual abuse

Our Mission

TMOF’s mission is to empower survivors of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) to create a positive ripple effect through society.

 

Survivors are supported on their recovery journey (improved wellbeing, life choices and prospects) and build the strength and resilience to support others on their path to recovery.

 

Sharing of their experiences of how the criminal justice system and statutory services have failed them leads to improved practices when dealing with victims of CSAE and as a result, more victims feel safe and confident in seeking justice.

 

By sharing our stories and experiences we expose and address injustice, misuse of power and corruption wherever we find it.
