Trusting Your Anchor When you are fighting an Extreme High-Risk threat, the most vital tool isn't always an app—it's a reliable human being. Abusers thrive on isolation, but resilience is built on connection. Finding your Human Anchor is the non-negotiable step that ensures your safety and survival. Why You Need a Human Anchor 💖 In the chaos of C-PTSD and trauma lag, your mind can be overwhelmed and shut down (the "lagging internet browser" effect). This is when you need a stable person who can act as your safety barrier and your external brain. The Critical Role of the Anchor: Your anchor is the person who is not paralyzed by the situation. They manage the logistics while you manage the trauma. The Legal Shield (Chris's Story): An anchor provides a legal barrier. They live in the secured safe house , act as the witness to any breach, and are ready to defend the physical sanctuary (like the "builder" who fortifies the home). The Anchor Protocol...

👑 About Us: The Mandate to Correct Systemic Failure Our Origin: From Trauma to Triumph The Guardian Angel Project C.I.C. was founded by Becky Chadburn because she was forced to become the "Findoutologist" of her own life. Our genesis lies in a devastating personal truth: our founder was a victim of Extreme High-Risk Stalking for over four years (2021–2025). She endured the constant fear and psychological torture of abuse that the courts repeatedly underestimated. When she finally found the strength to step away, she realised the systems designed to protect us—the police, the courts, and traditional helplines—were often unprepared to handle the reality of modern abuse. She faced Systemic Betrayal Trauma , which forced her to a crisis point. Our Mission: Building the Undeniable Shield The Guardian Angel Project C.I.C. exists to fix this broken system. We are a Community Interest Company (C.I.C.) dedicated to transforming trauma into an active, strategic defence. Our Core Ma...

The Digital Risk: Taking Control of Your Devices For survivors, a phone or computer can transform from a necessary lifeline into a serious vulnerability. Abusers often exploit digital patterns—checking browsing history, tracking location, or monitoring communication—to maintain control. The Guardian Angel Project is built to help you secure your digital life, but there are simple, immediate steps you can take today to protect your privacy and clear your digital footprints. Taking control of your own device is a powerful step toward reclaiming your safety. Simple Digital Cleanup: Clear Your Tracks These steps should be done discreetly, ideally on a separate device or network if possible. 1. Clear Your Browsing History: Do this often, especially after visiting support sites. Remember to clear your cache and cookies, too, as these hold tracked information. 2. Check Saved Passwords and Autofill: If your abuser has access to your device, check the saved passwords and autofill information...

The Isolation Trap: Breaking the Silence The single most destructive consequence of abuse, trauma, and crisis is isolation . When survivors are forced to walk a lonely path, the silence can become overwhelming. This sense of being utterly alone not only hinders healing but actively undermines safety planning. The Guardian Angel Support & Healing Space was created precisely to dismantle this isolation trap. Our hub is built on the belief that while professionals offer expert help, connection with someone who truly "gets it" is a critical, irreplaceable component of safety and recovery. The Value of Shared Experience Peer support is not about therapy; it's about validation . It means stepping into a space where you don't have to explain the unexplained. Here is why finding a safe community accelerates healing: Reduces Shame and Blame: Isolation tells a survivor that their situation is unique or shameful. Peer support instantly normalises the experience, shifting ...

The Trust Challenge: The Commitment Behind the Code When you are fighting for safety and control, the last thing you should have to worry about is whether your digital lifeline could betray you. At Guardian Angel, we acknowledge that asking a survivor to share sensitive information—even to save their own life—is asking for a massive leap of faith. That is why the core promise of the Guardian Angel Project is absolute: We cannot access, view, or sell any of your user data. Your privacy is not a feature we added; it is the architecture we were built upon. Our entire system operates on the Zero-Knowledge Principle . What is the "Zero-Knowledge Principle"? In simple terms, Zero-Knowledge means that the system (Guardian Angel) can verify something is true without ever knowing the content of the data itself. Think of it like a bank vault: The security system confirms your fingerprint is valid to open the vault door, but the security company never sees, touches, or knows what'...

In our first post, we laid out the urgent "Why" behind the Guardian Angel Project: to ensure no survivor walks the path to safety alone. In our second, we explored the "How" —the technology and process we're using to build the solution. Today, we want to talk about the most important element of this initiative: the people. The Guardian Angel Project is not just lines of code or organisational flowcharts; it is a profound act of commitment carried out by a dedicated vision. We are driven by a shared passion, specialised expertise, and a deep understanding of the sensitivity and gravity of this mission. More Than a Project: A Founder's Commitment The Guardian Angel Project is driven by a profound personal mandate and a commitment that runs deeper than a typical startup team. While this initiative is currently fuelled by the singular vision and dedication of founder Becky Chadburn , it is built upon the invaluable insights gathered from the silent voices of su...
