London, June 1, 2026 – Victims and survivors of terrorism will now have access to round‑the‑clock, trauma‑informed care through a newly established Support Hub, designed to simplify recovery and provide a single point of contact for emotional and practical assistance.
The hub, delivered in partnership with Victim Support, the Peace Collective, and West London NHS Trust, will assign each individual a dedicated caseworker and create personalised support plans. Services include immediate reassurance, specialist psychological care, and tailored provision for children and young people.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis described the launch as ending years of fragmented services: “It will offer a simpler, more joined‑up approach for those rebuilding their lives after an attack.” Katie Kempen, Chief Executive of Victim Support, added that timely access to the right help can make a “huge difference” in recovery.
Survivors such as Cheryl Stollery, who lost her husband in the 2015 Tunisia attack, and Travis Frain OBE, survivor of the Westminster Bridge attack, welcomed the hub as a long‑awaited step toward coordinated care and recognition of victims’ voices.
The hub will also provide specialist mental health assessments via the National Psychology Service for Victims and Survivors of Terror, ensuring access to expert clinical support nationwide.
The launch comes ahead of the UK’s first national day for victims and survivors of terrorism on 21 August 2026, a day of remembrance and solidarity. The Home Office will host a hybrid commemorative event in London, with a livestream available for public participation.
By centralising services and ensuring 24/7 access, the Support Hub represents a landmark commitment to helping victims and survivors rebuild their lives with dignity, resilience, and hope.
