Here is some help:

http://www.snapnetwork.org/
If I can help one other human being heal from their pain before I lose my own life, then my life will not have been in vain.
Both these organisations will help English survivors and are trying to expand their work in England.
SNAP have problems with admin, so I was one of the few survivors to attend their recent London meeting where they were working to set up a UK based support group.
http://www.macsas.org.uk/
Sadly Macsas have rather messed up helping me and left me further hurt and damaged, but that is not to say they will do that to everyone.
One of their good features for anyone who is in real difficulties is the freephone helpline, though that is struggling with staffing issues and is usually closed.
Be warned, if you have been abused and access these websites for the first time and see the extent of the wrongs and read other survivors stories, you may well be overcome with emotion - distress, anger, realisation of what has really happened to you, not what the church have tried to tell you has happened etc, I have been.
If the church see this blog, I can imagine they will try to close it down, even though I am writing it in a way that does not overstep anything legal as far as I know, though I have been mistaken about that in the past.
