A WOMBWELL woman who experienced sexual abuse as a child is setting up her own self help support group for other women who have suffered.
Lisa Sanders, 43, from Rose Grove, suffered from sexual abuse between the ages of nine to 16. Now she is setting up her own weekly support group in Wombwell where others who have experienced abuse can meet in an informal setting.
Lisa said that anyone interested in attending the group in Wombwell on Thursday afternoons should email her at lisa.sanders71@hotmail.com.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
