“We will improve outcomes for children and young people who have been traumatised through crime by providing the right emotional support services, at the right time”.

— Jo Procter - CEO - Embrace Child Survivors of Crime

Our vision is simple

Changing Children’s Futures

The need for Embrace’s work has never been clearer. Every child we support needs specialist trauma informed care to help them heal from the trauma that they have experienced.

By investing in their recovery and wellbeing, we create lasting change, not just for today, but for the rest of their lives.

Through compassionate, tailored support, children affected by crime are given the foundation they need to rebuild their confidence, develop, and move forward with hope. This is reflected in our motto “healing today, thriving tomorrow”.

In short, our work transforms lives. Over the past three decades, we have helped tens of thousands of young survivors rebuild their futures and move forward with hope.

As a charity we work to the following values:

Empathetic

We will listen, show understanding and ensure every child has the tools to help them recover from trauma.

Measurable

We will ensure the outcome and impact offer work is measured to ensure the services we are delivering are improving children’s lives.

Brave

We will be brave, embrace change and ensure our services evolve to meet the ever-changing landscape of survivor’s needs.

Relevant

We will be flexible in our approach, carefully considering each individual child’s circumstances, to offer personalised recovery services to that child to meet the family’s needs and circumstances.

Accessible

We will ensure our services are accessible to victims by delivering support both in person and remotely and a range of languages and other communication methods are offered.

Child Centred

We will ensure that the child’s wellbeing is in the centre of all the work and support that we undertake.

Excellence

We will continually strive to improve the services we provide to build our reputation as one of the leading providers of support services for young survivors of crime.
