Twin brothers from Birmingham, who suffered sexual abuse as teenagers in a children’s home in Northern Ireland, are camping on The Green in Kings Norton as part of a campaign to raise awareness of the need for proper support for victims of abuse.
Bobby and Joe Blair were taken into foster care at Rubane House in County Down in 1977, where they were beaten and subjected to sexual abuse.
They waived their right to anonymity to tell their story the The Irish Sun in 2015, after giving evidence at the Historical Abuse Inquiry in Northern Ireland.
