Helen Bamber Foundation

Description

The Helen Bamber Foundation is a human rights charity providing specialist, long-term care for survivors of trafficking, torture and extreme human cruelty in the UK. It delivers all-encompassing care across six areas (therapy, medical advice, legal protection, housing and welfare, counter-trafficking, and community integration) and works to recover clients' independence following severe trauma. The Foundation adopted a group structure in 2020, when Asylum Aid, a provider of trauma-informed legal representation to people seeking asylum in the UK, joined the Helen Bamber Foundation Group. The Foundation also shares expertise with partner organisations and governments and pursues policy and practice change.
