Domestic Abuse Haunted My Childhood - Charlie

This week we’re joined by speaker and author Charlie-Sam Newman, whose mission is simple, ‘To help people unlock their true potential’. From a very young age Charlie had experienced traumas that would shape her adolescence. After seeking safety at a women’s refuge at the age of 3, years would follow where safety and stability were rare, and violence and abuse were often close by. Following years within the care system, she would find herself at the centre of a drugs conspiracy, facing a possible 14-year prison sentence. But a lot has changed since then and today she no longer lives in silence, using her story to inspire, mentor and empower others to unlock their true potential. Useful organisations: Radical Recruit - Help people with barriers to work secure employment and regain control of their futures. Aiding them access to fair opportunities and meaningful work. Create Future Opportunities – they support people on their rehabilitation journey and run fantastic activity hubs where community is built and futures can take shape.
