I am requesting friends and family to donate to The Helen Bamber Foundation instead of/in addition to giving me presents for my 18th birthday. It is a charity that I strongly support and it does so much amazing work.

A bit about the charity: The Helen Bamber Foundation is a human rights charity based in London. Our team of experts provides therapeutic care, medical consultation, legal protection and practical support to survivors of human rights violations. We work with the most vulnerable and marginalised people in society: those who are haunted by memories of entrapment, rape and torture and who suffer unbearable flashbacks and nightmares. We deliver a specialist Model of Integrated Care to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
