Gae & Clare's Wedding
Fundraising for Helen Bamber Foundation
Story
We thought that since we're having a big party to celebrate with all our friends and family, it would be worth using some of that money to support a Foundation that does amazing things with people who are so often separated from those they love.
We will be making a donation and while we do not expect any of our guests to do the same, if instead of gifts they wanted to join us, we would be honoured.
Clare has worked a lot with victims of trafficking, torture, domestic violence and abuse, so this is a cause that is very close to our hearts.
We've put some information below so you'll see what the donations will be doing and you can find out more here: http://www.helenbamber.org/
Helen Bamber set up the Helen Bamber Foundation in 2005. Helen has worked tirelessly in the human rights field for over 60 years, helping thousands of survivors worldwide, starting in the former German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen after WWII. She was an early member of Amnesty International and in 1985 established The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture.
Helen started the Helen Bamber Foundation in 2005 because she recognised that people who have suffered prolonged inter-personal violence – whether from human trafficking, slavery, war, community, domestic, gender or sexuality-based violence – present with similar physical and psychological symptoms to torture survivors. The Foundation extends the model of care that Helen had developed over decades for survivors of state torture, to include a wider range of people who previously lacked such specialist support.
