Welcome to NAPAC

NAPAC is the National Association for People Abused in Childhood. We are a registered charity, based in the UK, providing support and information for people abused in childhood. If you were abused as a child and are looking for support click here.

We are now Lottery Funded!

Anne Nolan is our new Patron!!

 

Napac was delighted and very honored to hear from Anne Nolan recently, (of the very popular 80's girl group; THE NOLANS) who contacted us asking if she 'can help'. After the excitement, Pete jumped on the phone and we are now proud to announce Anne will be joining our existing team of dedicated patrons.

 

Anne truly has an inspirational story and we are privileged she has chosen NAPAC to donate her time and talent to.

 

Thank you Anne.

 

Watch Anne on Gaby Logan’s chat show, next  Tuesday 7th February 2012 Channel 5, 10.30am.

She may even mention NAPAC!
