In the briefest of moments, a catastrophic injury can shatter someone’s life.
It’s too much to piece it back together on their own.
That’s why we need caring and compassionate people like you to help people facing life after a traumatic injury.
We’ll be there from the start and for as long as it takes – will you join us today by becoming a friend of Day One Trauma Support?
Together, we can make sure no one is left to rebuild their life on their own.
Your regular gift will fund advice, support and emergency grants so our support workers can help people begin to rebuild their future.
Won’t it feel good knowing that every month you’ll be making a positive contribution to people recovering from major trauma? Thank you
Benefits of becoming a friend
As a friend of Day One, you’ll receive the following:
- An eye-catching friends pin badge to wear with pride and to show your support (though do tell us if you’d prefer not to receive this)
- Updates on the work you’re helping to fund. Hear from trauma doctors, nurses, our team and service users about the difference you’re making.
- Regular updates via our newsletter
- Other occasional surprises
How we’ll use your gift
All gifts will support people affected by major trauma wherever they are, and for as long as they need us.
Some recent examples of projects and services we've funded thanks to our wonderful supporters include:
- Emergency grants to cover costs incurred during a hospital stay: new clothes to ensure someone leaves hospital with dignity, travel and overnight stays so a loved one can remain close, are all things you’ll be helping out with.
- Emotional, mental and practical support from our team while in hospital.
- Family counselling – a major traumatic accident affects those we love too and we offer support for family members too
