Last month, we were hosted in Parliament by @Matt_VickersMP, Shadow Minister for Crime, Policing, and Fire, for a roundtable to explore how Governments can better support victims of terrorism to become changemakers and positive advocates in the fight against violent extremism.

We were delighted to be invited to address delegates at @SocTerRes Annual International Conference at @RoyalHolloway last month. We’re always keen to collaborate to amplify the voices of those with lived experience of terrorism - get in touch now!

If you watched the recent debate on support for terror survivors, you may have heard @AndyMacNaeMP reference the Survivors' Charter and its eight key principles. Created by @Survivors_a_t the Charter outlines what effective, compassionate support for survivors should look like.
