The organisation aims to “create and facilitate safe spaces for male (including trans and non-binary individuals) survivors of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation.

Richard Gadd has previously spoken out about what his experience as a survivor was like having to relieve his traumatic experiences in order to film certain scenes for the Netflix series. He explained: “It was tough, I can’t deny. I mean, who in their right mind wants to revisit the worst thing that ever happened to them? The worst period of their life? Of course, it affects you and leaves a bit of an imprint on you. But at the same time, I do sometimes feel that revisiting pain and re-experiencing things can lead to a better understanding of them.”
