Geographical area

Located within Hampshire, CIS’ters seeks to provide services for female survivors (age 18+) who, as female children/teens, were sexually abused/exploited by a member of their immediate/extended family.

We invite such survivors to become ‘members’ of CIS’ters, preferring the description of member to that of ‘client or service user’.

Whilst the majority of members live within Hampshire or the Isle of Wight, we also have members who live elsewhere within the UK (providing as best we can from within limited resources for members who live outside of our primary location).

For funding reasons, meetings continue to be held in Hampshire, though survivors do travel from across the UK to access meetings, such as our Annual Residential Weekend Workshop.
