Protect charity workers & communities from trauma

Aim

We want to match-fund a £5k donation to create a £10k fund in support of grassroots charities and communities affected by trauma & violence

Trauma Treatment International CEO Sarah Cutler writes:

Recent weeks have seen disturbing and growing levels of racist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-migrant attacks in communities around the UK. Increasing violence is also being experienced by our international partners. 2025 was one of the most violent years since the Cold War, with 65 active conflicts across 35 countries. 

Around the world, human rights workers and charity leaders are constantly responding to heightened risk, supporting distressed teams, and trying to keep their teams safe.

We treat trauma caused by violence and human rights abuses and build the resilience of organisations working for justice and human rights. 

In this climate of rising violence, our partners are asking: How can we protect our teams, to keep them supported and able to thrive? How can we strengthen resilience in communities facing uncertainty and violence? How can leaders sustain hope and wellbeing while meeting growing demands?

How we can help

Trauma Treatment International helps leaders understand the impact of trauma and respond in ways that build confidence, resilience, and connection. This strengthens both people and organisations, enabling them to continue making a positive difference in their communities.

Demand for this support is growing, but many of the organisations that contact us cannot afford the help they need. By raising additional funds, we can equip more leaders, support more communities, and help create stronger, safer, and more hopeful futures. 

The opportunity

A generous donor has committed £5,000 to encourage us to seek match funding. If we can raise a further £5,000, we will create a £10,000 fund dedicated to supporting smaller, grassroots charities and communities affected by trauma and harm.

This fund will enable us to:

• Offer free trauma-informed support sessions to small charities and community organisations working on the front line of community support.

• Provide free specialist trauma treatment for individuals who have experienced violence, intimidation, or other forms of harm.

• Strengthen the resilience of organisations to keep doing their vital work.

Every week, we hear from organisations and individuals who need help but lack the resources to access it. With your support, we can say "yes" more often.

Thank you

Sarah and the TTI team
