The Spanner Trust exists to defend the rights of sadomasochists of all sexual orientations and specifically to reverse the UK court ruling which made certain SM activities illegal even though all parties consented.

Our website contains documents detailing the history of the Spanner case, press releases detailing the Trust's activities, submissions to various bodies on the issue of SM and legal advice.

We provide legal advice for people under police investigation, or who have been charged, in relation to their SM activities. If you need urgent advice please email info@spannertrust.org

Have you heard of a recent court case in the UK where someone has been charged with assault because of injuries which occurred during consensual SM sex? If so please visit the website and tell us about it.

We are currently working on a challenge to the Spanner ruling in the High Court. This activity will be very expensive and we need as much financial support as possible. If you would like to make a donation to support our work please click here
