Together, our community has raised £460 for Get SAFE.
That figure won’t make headlines. It won’t impress venture capitalists. It won’t trend on social media.
But in real human terms, it has already changed lives.
Because of that support, people in crisis didn’t have to face financial trauma alone.Because of that support, recovery came first — not last.Because of that support, someone found steadiness, clarity, and dignity at the moment everything felt like it was falling apart.
This is what your generosity has made possible.
“He helped me reclaim my dignity”
“When I first reached out to Steve, I was in absolute panic. Every email from the bank’s solicitors made me physically shake. I was overwhelmed, confused, grieving, and terrified of losing my home. Steve didn’t just give me practical guidance — he gave me emotional safety. He explained what was really happening, helped me prepare calm responses for court, and stayed grounded when I was spiralling. On the day of the hearing, I felt steadier because I had his words beside me. The judge protected me, no repossession order was made, and I was given time to prepare properly. Steve didn’t just help me survive the process — he helped me reclaim my dignity in it.” — Lisa K.
“Recovery comes first, not last”
“Coming into contact with Get SAFE has challenged me to untangle and realign my thinking. For the first time in three years, I feel there is hope for me to come to a conclusion and move on with my life. Recovery comes first, not last — I wish I had known this sooner. Engaging with Steve’s Rebuild & Thrive programme helped me see that my whole life doesn’t have to be absorbed by my case anymore. I finally feel like I’m getting my footing back.” — Andrea, Get SAFE participant
Why £460 Matters More Than It Looks
At Get SAFE, we don’t measure impact in press releases or profit margins.
We measure it in:
• Panic reduced to steadiness
• Confusion replaced with clarity
• Isolation replaced with human connection
• Fear replaced with informed next steps
• Shame replaced with dignity
Every £50 raised provides a bursary for one person to access:
• Trauma-informed recovery support
• Guided evidence-structuring tools
• Self-advocacy training• Life-stabilisation planning
• Fellowship peer support
• Secure testimony preservation
That means your £460 has already supported nine people who would otherwise have been navigating financial harm alone.
Without community funding, none of this work would be possible.

It’s not flashy. It’s not viral.But it is real, grounded, and already changing lives.
From Me, Personally
I founded Get SAFE because I’ve seen what happens when financial systems fail people — and then abandon them in the aftermath.
Your backing says something different.
It says:
Recovery matters.
Dignity matters.
People deserve support before they break.
Thank you for helping build something humane, steady, and lasting.
With deep gratitude,Steve Conley

If You’d Like to Help This Work Continue
Get SAFE exists because people choose to stand quietly alongside those facing financial harm.
There is no pressure to give.There is no “target thermometer.”There is no guilt-based appeal.
But if this story resonates with you — and you believe no one should have to face financial trauma alone — your support helps keep this work available to the next person who reaches out in panic, confusion, or despair.
Every £50 provides a bursary for one person to access:
• Trauma-informed recovery support
• Guided self-advocacy tools
• Evidence-structuring templates
• Life-stabilisation planning
• Fellowship peer support
• Secure testimony preservation
That support can mean the difference between someone breaking down in isolation — and someone finding clarity, steadiness, and dignity again.
