Get SAFE
Support After Financial Exploitation
Free, calm support for people who have been financially harmed.
You don’t have to face this on your own.
Get SAFE helps people who have been hurt by financial misconduct, fraud, scams, or regulatory failure to steady themselves, get organised, and work out what to do next — safely and at their own pace.

What we do
We help you:
-
make sense of what has happened
-
organise your papers, dates, and evidence
-
put your story into clear, calm language
-
write simple, respectful letters and complaints
-
understand your realistic options
-
protect your wellbeing while you deal with it
We focus on support before anything becomes legal, wherever possible.
Our aim is not to rush you into action —
it’s to help you regain clarity, stability, and control.
What we mean by “citizen investigator” (in plain words)
A “citizen investigator” isn’t a lawyer or a campaigner.
It simply means someone who learns to:
-
keep good records
-
tell their story clearly
-
ask the right questions
-
stay calm and steady under pressure
That’s what we help you do.
You stay in charge of your case.
We support you to think clearly and act safely.
What we are (and what we're not)
We are:
-
on your side
-
independent of the financial industry
-
free for people affected by financial harm
-
calm, trauma-informed, and supportive
-
focused on your wellbeing as well as your paperwork
We are not:
-
lawyers
-
a claims company
-
part of a bank, lender, insurer, or regulator
-
a campaigning or lobbying organisation
We don’t act as your lawyer.
We help you get ready — so you are not outmatched, overwhelmed, or dismissed.

You matter more than the case
You are not a file number.

We believe support should not depend on money, confidence, or stamina.
Get SAFE exists so you can be heard —
safely, calmly, and with dignity.
From Being Ignored to Being Taken Seriously
“Before I found support, my letters and evidence were simply ignored.
Through the Transparency Task Force I was introduced to Steve, who helped me make sense of what I was dealing with and organise my case properly.
He worked patiently through my correspondence with me, helping me structure it clearly and professionally so that regulators and authorities finally began to respond.
He spotted important evidence I had missed and gave me the confidence to keep going, even though I had no technical or legal background.
That preparation made all the difference. For the first time, a UK solicitor was willing to take my case seriously and ultimately agreed to act on a no-win-no-fee basis.
What mattered most was knowing someone was on my side — calm, knowledgeable, and committed to helping me stand my ground.”
— Gary Wrighton
How we use AI
We use AI as a support tool, not a decision-maker.
It does not give legal advice or act like a lawyer.
It helps with things like:
-
putting papers and dates in order
-
understanding what’s happened in plain language
-
drafting calm, clear letters
-
spotting things you might want to question
AI is just a tool.
People come first. Always.
If you need legal advice, we’ll encourage you to seek it at the right time.
You are welcome here
Get SAFE is a quiet, supportive place for people who:
-
feel overwhelmed or frightened
-
are tired of being ignored
-
don’t know what to do next
-
need someone calm in their corner
Whether you want practical help, emotional support, or just a clearer head, you are welcome here.
(You can go at your own pace.)
