The Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme offers redress to those who have suffered harm, abuse or adverse experiences within the Jesus Fellowship community.
Apply for Redress

You can apply for all three parts of the Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme but you will need to complete an application for each type.

Update: Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme Launch
The Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme is open for applications between 26th September 2022 and 31st December 2023.
The Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme has been specifically designed to give survivors and applicants an effective means for swift and compassionate settlement, without having to go through the courts.
It ensures the compensation available goes to survivors and applicants, rather than being eroded by legal fees. It also means no survivor or applicant will have to re-state their experience in court.
