Founding Story

Red Rose UK was founded in Scotland by Oliver Fulleylove at the age of 25, following an event that would change the course of his life forever. His 4-year-old step-daughter was sexually assaulted by a known family member — a man with a long, documented history of violent and sexual allegations. Police Scotland and Social Services had been aware of his behaviour for years, yet despite the clear danger, no protective measures were put in place. The system’s silence and inaction meant that a preventable crime was allowed to happen.

For Oliver, this was not an isolated failing of the authorities. At just 13 years old, he himself had been the victim of sexual assault, and he knew first-hand the impact that such crimes can have on every aspect of a person’s life. In 2019, he was also the victim of a vicious, unprovoked stabbing in Birmingham that left him in a coma for two weeks and required life-saving spleen and stomach surgery. These experiences — each traumatic in their own way — were defining moments that shaped his understanding of how vulnerable people are often left without protection, and how predators can continue to offend when the truth is hidden.

Oliver decided that something had to change. Instead of allowing his past to define him, he chose to channel his anger and pain into creating a tool that would make a measurable difference to public safety. The mission was clear from the start: make accurate, verified information on convicted offenders freely available so communities could protect themselves and hold authorities to account.

From Pain to Action

What began as a small-scale project to share vital information quickly evolved into a powerful national platform. Red Rose UK is now the largest free public database of its kind in the UK and Ireland, hosting more than 56,000 profiles of convicted sex offenders, child abusers, and animal abusers — with research showing strong links between these categories of offending.

The project’s growth has not been without opposition. Oliver’s own criminal convictions — including a 2020 fraud involving a website that generated free train, bus, and fast-food vouchers, and a road rage incident involving an empty drinks can — have been weaponised by critics in attempts to undermine him. Rather than hiding from his past, he has chosen to acknowledge it openly, using his own history to reinforce Red Rose UK’s principles of transparency, accountability, and change.

For years, Oliver has also endured targeted harassment and stalking from the family of his step-daughter’s abuser. His personal details have been shared with hundreds of convicted offenders in an effort to intimidate him into silence. Instead of backing down, these attacks have only strengthened his resolve. The result is a platform built not just from technical expertise, but from lived experience, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to protect others from harm.
