Our Purpose

The Shannon Moore Trauma Trust Purposes are:

Purpose One:
To provide funding for specialist trauma therapy for those who cannot otherwise afford it, which will alleviate suffering for individuals, families or communities who have been impacted by trauma and who live in Sussex

We do this by awarding individuals and their families grants to:

• Access assessment which identifies the ways in which trauma has impacted them and maps out a trauma-informed therapy plan.
• Access specialist trauma-informed therapy which will offer healing, and recovery.

Purpose Two:

To provide funding to educate, both locally and globally, on the impact of trauma on individuals, families and communities, to create a culture shift towards a trauma-informed society.

We do this by funding training, consultation and supervision for those working with, living with or supporting individuals and communities who have experienced trauma.

The Trust also achieves this purpose by funding the creation and dissemination of trauma-informed resources across the globe.
