hiii happy to announce i’m fundraising for Survivors Against Terror as a survivor of the 2017 manchester arena attack

❀✨(more information below)✨❀

My charity: (charity number 1203327)

My chosen charity works to help survivors of terrorist incidents for those in the UK and abroad, working with NHS and Victims support for therapy & treatment access National Emergencies Trust for emergency grants, providing legal help to victims, round the clock advice, memorial funding & most important of all backing legislation to prevent these attacks and pursue justice for all survivors of terrorism, they’re extremely helpful & legitimate I know first hand from dealing with them myself in the years following the Manchester Arena attack.

My sponsored activity:

i have chosen to sky dive for a purpose, since the arena bombing i found airports & flying on planes very triggering & either stopped flying entirely missing out on family occasions, weddings, funerals & cherished memories, or i would need so much assistance through companions & sedating medication it wasn’t feasible for me to fly on many occasions. Since 2024/2025 i am thankful i have now healed that element of my post traumatic stress & i am one of the lucky ones in that now i can virtually fly unaided, so it would feel full circle & be the final page in the book of conquering my triggers caused by the attack once & for all!

In recent years:

Since terrorist incidents & attacks are on a sharp rise these past few years, since legislation to help future victims & current survivors is slow & fragile, i believe the charities that prevent, help & are proactive are so important and need all of our funding to stay afloat to be a life line to survivors.

Why survivors against terror?

I hope this resonates with other arena survivors (I won’t name the main the charities or organisations) but from dealing with them in the years I have been seeking help & although other charities are well known / receive more funding than S.A.T (S.A.S) does, they are not as helpful as them & are less proactive with the amount of funding they receive, so i decided to chose them on that basis as i know with certainty any & all donations to them will be spread out to help evenly & proactively than the bigger names.

Message to donors or those interested:

Thank you all so much, and any donations are appreciated! All of the funds will go directly to the charity regardless of if the goal is reached or not & just giving will pay them directly, the sponsored sky dive i expect to happen at the end of 2026 / start of 2027 depending on how close we can get to the goal i have set for us.

Thank you for taking the time to read & thank you for donating what you can, and please remember there are brighter days ahead✨🐝✨
