Join us in Celebration!
On Thursday 29th January, from 4–7pm, the Kingdom Abuse Survivors Project (KASP) will mark a deeply meaningful milestone: 30 years of supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Hosted at the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy, Fife, this event brings together survivors, staff, partners, and the wider community to honour the organisation’s journey, its impact, and the voices at the heart of everything KASP stands for.
Marking this event in KASP’s 31st year, the day will begin by looking back to where it all started and the journey of marching in London, a petition taken to Downing Street and the building of a cross-party working group determined to speak out about childhood sexual abuse. The moment KASP was funded and opened in 1995 lay the foundations of what would grow into a vital, trauma-informed service for survivors across Fife.
Attendees will hear the story of KASP, why it was created, and how the organisation’s values and mission continue to be shaped by survivors’ needs, courage, and lived experiences.
The first half of the event focuses on the importance of speaking out and the ongoing need for specialist support for survivors. KASP’s work over the last three decades and how offering a supportive safe space has made a profound impact on countless lives. Today, the organisation remains committed to listening to survivors, validating experiences, and walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys.
To honour and represent the voices of clients, there will be a creative display featuring artwork and poetry, offering powerful insight into survivors’ stories, strengths and resilience. These pieces reflect both the ethos of KASP and the trauma-informed approach that guides all its work through the eyes of our clients.
The event will also highlight the key services KASP offers today demonstrating how the organisation continues to evolve while staying true to its core mission.
The second half of the evening will be devoted to celebration and connection. This is a chance for the KASP community to come together in a relaxed, friendly space. There will be opportunities for informal chat, gentle networking, and reflection on both the challenges and the achievements of the last 30 years. Tea, coffee and nibbles will be available as we mark not only the endurance of the organisation, but the strength and courage of the people it exists to support.
KASP’s 30-year celebration is more than an anniversary – it is a tribute to every survivor who has spoken out, every voice that has shaped the organisation, and every step forward taken in the movement to support survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
All over 16 years are welcome to join us for an evening of reflection, creativity, community and hope.
