During the financial year, our organisation provided vital support to families affected by child abduction and separation, often involving international legal disputes. Our activities focused on offering emotional, practical, and peer-led support to parents, carers, and siblings dealing with the trauma and prolonged uncertainty caused by these events. We ran regular support groups, delivered individual case guidance, and developed digital and in-person outreach to ensure families had access to trauma-informed care and legal navigation tools. Our work particularly benefited marginalised communities, including people of colour, migrants, and low-income households, who often face systemic barriers to accessing justice and mental health support. Our community-led model, guided by a 20-member steering group with lived experience, ensured our services remained culturally relevant and rooted in real need. We empowered families to share their experiences, influence our service design, and find strength through collective support. The impact of our work is evident in improved mental health outcomes, increased knowledge and confidence in legal processes, and stronger peer networks. Our activities contributed to reducing isolation and building resilience among some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Our stakeholders include: Families affected by child abduction (parents, carers, and siblings) Volunteers and staff members Community steering group (20 individuals with lived experience) Partner organisations, including legal advisors, mental health professionals, and community groups Funders and supporters We regularly consult our stakeholders through structured feedback sessions, anonymous surveys, one- to-one conversations, and quarterly steering group meetings. These consultations guide service development and ensure our activities remain relevant and impactful. Actions taken in response to feedback include: Introducing more targeted sibling support after identifying the unique emotional burden siblings face Developing simplified legal guidance materials in response to confusion around international legal processes Piloting evening support groups to accommodate working families Enhancing our digital communication strategy based on feedback requesting more accessible online information and updates This ongoing dialogue ensures that our organisation remains community-led, responsive, and adaptive to the real needs of those we serve.
