The 'Why' Behind Guardian Angel
Mission Statement
"To empower survivors of domestic abuse with a single, secure, and comprehensive digital tool for safety, evidence management, and wellness. We streamline the path to safety, reduce trauma, and foster a supportive community for healing."
Vision Statement
"We envision a universally accessible standard of support for survivors everywhere. By creating an all-in-one, privacy-first platform, we put control back where it belongs: in the hands of the survivor."
Why Guardian Angel is a Historic Project
This isn't just another app; it's a movement.
A Survivor-Led 'First'
Guardian Angel is the world's first safety platform conceived, designed, and led by a survivor. This isn't just a feature; it's our foundation. Every tool is built with a profound, lived understanding of what a survivor truly needs to feel safe and in control.
A Commitment to Privacy
Our "zero-knowledge" privacy model is our promise to you. Your most sensitive data is encrypted in a way that only you can access. We cannot see it. We cannot share it. You hold the key, always. This establishes the unbreakable trust necessary for true healing.
Fixing a Broken System
We are not just offering tools for individuals; we are building an infrastructure to fix the fragmented support system that re-traumatises survivors. The Agency Portal is designed to create a "Positive Loop" of communication, putting the survivor in control of their own story.
From Survivor to Founder: The Journey
Guardian Angel wasn't built in a boardroom; it was forged in the fire of lived experience. Every step was a victory.
Becky's journey from survivor to CEO is a testament to her resilience. While fighting for her own life and safety, she simultaneously built a support system for others. She:
- Created a Facebook support group that grew to over 800 members.
- Transformed her experience into art by writing poetry, publishing a book, and performing on stage.
- Became an official IDAS Champion and a peer mentor, directly supporting other women.
- Taught herself law to navigate the complex legal system and advocate for herself and others.
- Leveraged her Health & Social Care qualifications to inform the app's supportive features.
- Attended court three times, reading her own victim impact statement and securing a five-year restraining order.
- Taught herself web design, graphic design, and music production.
- Started volunteering, stood for other victims, and became a co-production associate with South Yorkshire Housing.
It was this relentless cycle of learning, advocating, and creating that led to the realisation: the only way to truly fix the problem was to build the solution herself. That is the story of Guardian Angel.
