A message from Louise

louisePP.png

“For the past 17 years, I have walked alongside survivors, whānau, and communities who have shown immense strength in the face of sexual violence. The Louise Nicholas Trust was created so no one has to face the justice system alone.

​

We are here to listen, to stand with you, and to help you understand each step of the process — without judgement, pressure, or expectation. Your safety, your voice, and your choices come first.

If you choose to engage with the police or go through the court system, we will walk beside you. If you’re not ready, that’s okay too. You deserve information, support, and dignity at every stage.

​

To every survivor reading this: I believe you. I see your courage. And you do not have to navigate this journey on your own.”

​

-Louise Nicholas, Founder of The Louise Nicholas Trust

What Police and Survivors say about us

Survivor Feedback

"I self referred to the Louise Nicholas Trust. I could not have done this alone at all. LNT's help was immeasurable. She kept me informed right throughout the process, before, during and after the trial. LNT was committed to ensuring my safety on the day of the trial."
