Details

This programme funds work that supports people as they rebuild their lives following some of the most challenging experiences imaginable. This includes people who have experienced domestic abuse, those seeking refuge and safety after conflict or persecution, and people leaving prison.

They also support work that challenges and improves the systems surrounding them. These systems often fail to provide safety, stability or dignity, leaving people to navigate complex transitions alone.

The Foundation backs organisations offering support to help people break free from abuse and rebuild their lives. That includes emotional and practical help, safe accommodation and long-term recovery. They also support work that improves services and ensures survivors’ voices shape how support is designed and delivered.

They fund organisations that help people on their journey from arrival to independence. This includes safe housing, legal advice, language support, education and routes into work. They also back work that aims to improve the systems surrounding immigration and resettlement.

They fund organisations that support people during and after prison. This includes housing, mental health care, family support and mentoring. They have a particular focus on young people leaving youth custody. They also support efforts to improve how the justice system works, especially when those efforts are shaped by lived experience.
