At Hampton Trust, we have always been bold and innovative in what we do. Now we look like it, too.
An estimated 2.1 million people aged 16 years and over experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2023. If we include the many children that witness domestic abuse within their families, this figure is even higher. Many offences never come to the attention of the police or any other service, remaining unreported and under the radar.
Through our work with those using abusive and harmful behaviours within their relationships, we know that many of those behaviours are learned and being passed down generations unless we do something innovative and different to break this toxic cycle.
Since it was founded in 1996, Hampton Trust has been developing and delivering bold, innovative and evidence based interventions to rebuild lives; and we have been working with partner organisations, policy makers and commissioners to change the system.
Hampton Trust stands for innovation, transformation and hope. People and their experiences, be they perpetrators or victims of domestic abuse, are at the heart of what we do. So when we embarked on refreshing our look and website, we built it around the people we work with, featuring men and women of all ages and backgrounds and telling their compelling stories of transformation and change.
We also wanted to make it easier for agencies and clients to understand our services and to refer themselves or others, and we want to invite partners, commissioners and policy makers to explore our evidence base and the many options for strategic collaboration.
Each year, we directly support thousands of individuals across the UK to rebuild their lives and move forward into a more positive future, and nearly a thousand professionals have been trained in the DARE Toolkit. Hampton Trust has been filling the gap in rehabilitative interventions and training for more than 25 years. It was therefore important to us to retain some of our original brand features to honour the journey we have been on.
We believe our new look firmly grounds us in our expertise and past achievements while at the same time mirroring the hope and transformation we achieve daily for the people we work with.
We hope you like it.
