About The Green House
The Green House offers specialist support to children, young people, and families across Avon and Somerset who have experienced sexual abuse, providing creative and evidence-based interventions shaped by the voices of survivors and their families.
The charity offers a range of services, including one-to-one therapy, practical and emotional support for parents and carers, and creative community activities designed to help survivors process trauma and rebuild their lives.
In addition to direct service provision, The Green House contributes to national policy and practice through research and partnership projects aiming to disrupt cycles of trauma and improve understanding of child sexual abuse. The charity is committed to ending the stigma and silence around abuse, empowering survivors to build thriving relationships and communities.
With a strong emphasis on evidence, prioritising creative, survivor-led support, and actively contributing to wider learning, The Green House plays a vital role in the lives of those affected by sexual abuse, helping to break cycles of harm and supporting families to heal and thrive together.
“Probably just knowing that the space is there if you need it and since its support for those who have experienced any sexual assault / violence you kinda feel less alone even if you’re not talking about it.”

“It has helped with all the abuse problems and fears. Everything like that has gone away and I’m not so panicky.”
- Young person supported with therapy
“The service has been a lifeline for my child and for us as a family – we have been able to deal with this because of The Green house. I don’t know what we would have done otherwise!! We are not sure our journey is over, but we are in a better place now that we have their support. Thank you.”
