Missing these two little munchkins ..... 💕💕💕

Instagram post 2132196341024039822_2175931525

This is a perfect quote to sum up how I’m feeling right now.....scared, overwhelmed, panicking a bit, wondering if I will be able to achieve the dream of setting up centres eventually all round the country!!! Or will I just fall flat on my face and fail..... 😩⠀
⠀
I guess only time will tell. But a year ago I never dreamed I’d be on the brink of doing this, but there are many times when I sit alone and wonder what I’ve let myself in for. Should I even try? Why not just focus on my own family, my friends and my life now content in the knowledge that I’ve told the truth?⠀
⠀
And don’t think for one minute that those self doubts don’t run through my mind.... I’m scared of failing. I’m not sure if we will succeed or not! But I’m going to give it my very best shot and try..,.⠀
⠀
Why? ⠀
⠀
Because Survivors of abuse often have nowhere to turn for help when they so desperately need it. I want my centres to fill that gap, and at the time it’s needed..not years later when a GP referral FINALLY appears, if it ever does. It’s often then far too little, and far far too late....⠀
⠀
I hope the public will support me, and donate to the Foundation if you can. Maybe do a fundraising event....I promise that every little will help. We need lottery funding, corporate sponsors, grants, public money and fundraisers to help us achieve this. ⠀
⠀
But the public have never let me down, nor let the girls down, and I know that together we can make this happen!!!! ❤️❤️⠀

Well... a pretty monumental day!!! The Maggie Oliver Foundation has finally been given its Charity Number!!!! 🎈🎈🎈⠀
⠀
It’s been a long journey to here, and there are so many people who have helped to make my dream a reality. Most especially Diana Porter, OBE who inspired me with her amazing charity in Ipswich Fresh Start new beginnings, doing such wonderful work helping child victims of sexual abuse, and Becky Daw whose encouragement, belief, time and energy have helped make this happen. Special people....⠀
⠀
So now into the next phase.... finding a suitable location for our pilot, volunteers, professionals and working together to help survivors of abuse move forward in their lives!⠀

When I joined the police I always tried to treat everyone with respect. I did not judge .... that wasn’t my job. My job was to investigate, to gather the evidence and then hand it to the cps to take to court. It was the job of the jury to then judge innocence or guilt.....
⠀
At the front of my mind was always the thought...’do as you would be done by’, and I think in life if we all followed that simple rule, we wouldn’t go far wrong.⠀
⠀
Sadly that was not at the forefront of the minds of Senior Police Officers in GMP, especially the Chief Constable Peter Fahy (now SIR!!!)⠀
⠀
The kids being abused were being treated as worthless, not worth protecting and certainly not worth spending money pursuing all the offenders. But these kids were viewed as an underclass, they couldn’t damage these high ranking officers who were turning a blind eye and hence were abandoned.⠀
⠀
And there were many in positions of power who knew precisely what was going on for over twenty years who just turned a blind eye and allowed the abuse to go unchecked. And they should hang their heads in shame as they draw their enormous private pensions......⠀

We all sometimes need to step back from the pressures of life, recharge and reassess the road ahead....⠀
⠀
And this is my happy place, where I have come to many times over recent years, especially when the going got tough! This truly is a special place, where the worries of the world fade away and I can just count my many blessings.... my kids, my two little grandsons, health, dreams, friendship and the many adventures ahead...,. 🤞⠀
⠀
Even though I’m still working hard whilst I’m here, putting together plans and firm foundations for the first pilot Maggie Oliver Centre to support survivors of abuse, I’m also trying to recharge my rundown batteries ready for the next assault....⠀
⠀
We should all sometimes take time out to just smell the roses, focus on ourselves and the little things in life that make us happy....💕⠀
⠀
