Peer support
Being able to speak to somebody who has experienced a traumatic injury themselves could help you to deal with the impact of your injuries and what has happened to you.
Day One is here to provide practical and emotional support to help you manage your circumstances and make the best possible recovery following a major physical trauma.
We can help answer your questions & get you the support you need
How we can help you
From emergency funding to long-term peer support, we can be your side throughout your recovery journey. Take a look to see how we can support you in the Major Trauma Centres where we work and nationally.
Legal support
We know that suffering major trauma can leave you with lots of questions about the future. Getting the right legal advice can be vital so you understand your rights and can focus on your recovery.
Emergency fund
Our Emergency Fund is available to families to help cover costs incurred during their relative’s stay in hospital, including travel and accommodation costs, parking and other unforeseen expenses such as clothes, food and toiletries.
Benefits and welfare advice
You may be worried about the financial impact of your injury, particularly if you are unable to work, either temporarily or longer term. We offer benefits and welfare advice.
Family counselling
When a major traumatic accident or event occurs, it not only affects your life but has implications for the people you live with and who love you. We can offer support.
Bold ambitions,
