The Kintsugi Way is a charity dedicated to supporting women who have experienced sexual abuse or rape, helping them rebuild their lives with resilience and strength. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi—where broken pottery is repaired with gold to highlight its history rather than hide its imperfections—we believe in empowering survivors to embrace their journey and find beauty in their healing process.www.thekintsugiway.co.uk@thekintsugiwayDonate:

‘Saint Maria's Way’, shortlisted for Screamfest 2024, started from Chris Turner and writer Chelsea Kania’s frustration with the increasingly dire lack of safety for women on the street at night.
