He was brutally abused at the Church of England North Coast Children’s Home for 14 years, fought for justice for a decade, and now Richard ‘Tommy’ Campion finally feels as though his personal battle has ended.

“Probably about now, I’m the happiest I’ve been since I started this battle,” he said.

“The church doesn’t stuff around with me anymore.

“But you never forget these things.”

Despite ending his own quest for justice, Mr Campion is continuing to act as an advisor for other abuse victims.

“Unfortunately some of the other children — now adults — I still think about them and wonder how they are,” he said.
