The Offside Trust, a new organisation committed to supporting survivors and working to make sport safer for children. The Trust is led by ex- footballer Steve Walters and former professional golfer Chris Unsworth, whose stories have inspired hundreds of people to speak out for the first time about their abuse. The Offside Trust Aims: End abuse in sport, so kids can be kids; and Support the healing journey of survivors of abuse. The Offside Trust already has the support of clubs, players and former professionals throughout the sporting world. We focus on all sports, not just football. We are grateful for the support that we are getting from everyone including the people in cricket, rugby, golf and boxing, helping to raise further awareness across sport. The Offside Trust works alongside governing bodies, charities and organisations that deal with safeguarding. If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse in sport, you can email us at: support@theoffsidetrust.com For all media enquiries, email: press@theoffsidetrust.com And for other general issues, please use: info@theoffsidetrust.com If you would like to speak to somebody, the NSPCC has setup a free helpline for people who have been abused in sport.
