Survivors Unite provides dedicated, skilled, compassionate and flexible sexual abuse recovery support to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the Scottish Borders through the provision of the Safe Oaks Project.

Welcome

Our Safe Oaks Project is based in our premises at Tweed Mills Business Park, Selkirk. It's an inviting, comfortable and confidential space for all our clients.

All our staff are friendly, welcoming and understand the effects of abuse and trauma. Our Recovery Practitioners are trained professionals who provide compassionate, person-centred support tailored to each individual.

You might have questions about what to expect, how the process works, and whether it will truly help. Understanding what to expect can make this process a little easier...so take a look around our website to see how we can help you.
