Helping the victims of terror attacks

The government has announced an extension in funding for victims and survivors of terrorist attacks, making sure that all victims of terrorism can continue to access support services.

  • This year marks the fifth anniversary of several horrific terrorist attacks that took place in 2017 and we are all coming to recognise that victims can be affected in more ways than many of us could ever contemplate.
  • So the government is extending funding to Cruse Bereavement Support, the Peace Foundation, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and Victim Support – providing 24/7 support lines, mental health assessments and referrals, bereavement support, and long-term peer support networks.
  • This funding will make sure those affected by terrorist attacks can be provided with practical and emotional support to work through these traumatic events, and continue to access support services for as long as they need them.
