Story

Make a Difference: Support the Potato Group Conference!

As we start the new year, we are reaching out with a unique opportunity for you to make a meaningful impact. The Potato Group, in collaboration with The Belay Foundation, are organising a conference—an event that promises to highlight how we approach the challenges faced by children impacted by trauma.

In these financially challenging times, we understand the strains that everyone is under. However, we believe that the spirit of giving is more powerful than ever, and your support can play a crucial role in making this conference a reality.

Why Support Our Conference?

Transformative Insights: Your contribution will help professionals in Social Care, Health, Housing, the Criminal Justice System, and Family Courts gain transformative insights into addressing the unique challenges faced by traumatized children throughout childhood and into adulthood.

Expert Perspectives: Renowned speakers like Sir Andrew McFarlane, Professor Julie Selwyn, and Sarah Johal will share their expertise, providing invaluable knowledge to attendees.

Real-Life Experiences: The conference, led by Jim Clifford, OBE, will feature panels of experts and parents who have first-hand experience navigating the complexities of parenting traumatised teenagers, young people and adults.

Catalyst for Change: Your support will contribute to fostering conversations around effective early intervention and the implementation of trauma-informed policies within statutory services.

How Can You Help?

We've set up this campaign page to gather support from friends, family, and colleagues. Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. We encourage you to consider donating as a thoughtful way to support a cause close to your heart.

Important Note: We understand the financial constraints many are facing. Your support, whether through a small or larger donation, is deeply appreciated. Every contribution brings us one step closer to creating positive change for children and families.

Let's come together and make a lasting impact. Your generosity can help us reach our goal and ensure the success of our professionals' conference.

Thank you and Best Wishes from The Potato Group and The Belay Foundation.
