Story

The Helen Bamber Foundation (HBF) provides expert care and support for refugees and asylum seekers who have suffered extreme physical, sexual and psychological violence, abuse and exploitation. Our clients have been subjected to atrocities including state-sponsored torture, religious / political persecution, human trafficking, forced labour, sexual exploitation, gender-based and ‘honor-based’ violence. Most of our clients have been repeatedly and systematically victimised, sometimes for years. The Helen Bamber Foundation provides survivors with an expert combination of health, legal and welfare support to address the complex needs and vulnerabilities of survivors and help them achieve sustained recovery and lead successful lives in the UK.   

One these vital services is the Helen Bamber Foundation's Mother and Baby Group. The Mother and Baby Group understands the challenges that refugee mothers face. Each week, mothers are provided specialist therapy, practical ante-natal and post-natal support, yoga, English classes, expert welfare support, as well as families benefit from the friendships and support of other mums who have survived human cruelty. The practical and emotional support of the Mother and Baby Group ensures that survivors are able to overcome the traumas of the past, while becoming confident parents who are able to provide a healthy future for their children. 

Donate today. 

£40 could provide a mother with vital therapy in the Foundation’s mum and babies group.

£60 could provide emergency relief for a refugee family in crisis.

£100 could provide an expectant mother to access the mum and babies group throughout her pregnancy. 

You can listen to the appeal online or on the radio at FM 92-93 / FM 103-10.
