Hampton Trust’s JUNO women’s service supports vulnerable women with early contact with the criminal justice system. Many face multiple challenges, including poor health, trauma, domestic abuse and insecure accommodation. Too often, these women feel judged, unheard and excluded.
JUNO changes that.

Through our specialist women’s groups, JUNO creates a sisterhood, a safe and supportive space where women can connect, build trust, and begin to make positive changes. Women consistently describe JUNO as life‑changing, valuing the opportunity to feel welcomed, listened to, and truly supported.

Trauma‑informed care is at the heart of everything we do. We choose welcoming venues and provide hot drinks and refreshments, so every woman feels safe, valued and able to explore her experiences in comfort.

£3 helps provide refreshments at a JUNO session, supporting dignity, safety and healing at every visit.

Caring Dads is a trauma‑informed intervention that promotes father‑inclusive practice and improves safety for children affected by domestic abuse.

Children are victims of domestic abuse every day. To truly protect them and improve their outcomes, we must address harm at its source by working with individuals who use harmful behaviours. Caring Dads supports men to understand the impact of their behaviour on their children and provides practical tools and strategies to help them become safer, more consistent and nurturing parents. By helping fathers change, we are rebuilding children’s lives, strengthening family relationships, and reducing the risk of children entering the care system. This early intervention creates safer home environments and better long‑term outcomes for children.

£30 funds one Caring Dads session, helping break cycles of harm and build safer futures for children.

The Domestic Abuse Routine Enquiry (DARE Toolkit) training is a culture‑changing initiative designed to improve the safety and wellbeing of women and children affected by domestic abuse.

Lasting change can only happen when domestic abuse becomes everyone’s business, from members of the community to professionals working across all sectors. Yet professionals in housing, Jobcentre Plus, health, substance misuse services and social care often report fear and uncertainty about how to have safe, respectful conversations with individuals they suspect may be using harmful behaviours in their relationships, or how to offer support without causing harm.

For the past five years, Hampton Trust has been leading whole‑system change by providing DARE Toolkit training to professionals across services. The training builds confidence and competence, enabling staff to ask the right questions, at the right time, and to offer pathways into specialist support safely and effectively.

By embedding DARE principles into everyday practice, professionals are empowered to call out domestic abuse at every opportunity, address the root causes, and engage constructively with those using harmful behaviours. This proactive, early‑intervention approach is proven to improve safety and outcomes for women and children.

Demand for DARE training is growing rapidly. However, access is currently limited by a lack of funding. To continue leading this culture‑changing initiative, we want to offer free training places to professionals who are well‑placed to drive change within their organisations and communities.

£300 funds one professional to be fully trained in the DARE Toolkit, equipping them to embed DARE principles into their practice and contribute to our shared mission of rebuilding lives and breaking the cycle of domestic abuse.

Your support will help create safer systems, stronger responses, and better futures for women and children.

Our ISVA service supports victims and survivors of sexual violence through the criminal justice process and recovery journey, often over an extended period. Because of significant court delays, clients now remain engaged with the service for an average of 4–4.5 years, requiring sustained advocacy, emotional support, and practical assistance.

Survivors accessing the service frequently experience acute anxiety, trauma responses, and loss of control, particularly at key stages such as reporting, giving statements, attending medical examinations, and facing court proceedings. Small, flexible interventions such as wellbeing packs, self‑care resources, and travel support play a vital role in helping survivors feel safe, supported, and able to engage with justice.

The service has identified key funding needs:

• Wellbeing packs and self‑care bundles for adult survivors, providing comfort, grounding tools, and reassurance at times of crisis or heightened distress.
• Specialist wellbeing resources for children and young people, tailored to developmental needs and designed to support emotional regulation before and after appointments or court appearances.
• ISVA travel costs to mainland courts, increasingly necessary as Isle of Wight cases are listed at Portsmouth Crown Court to address backlog pressures.
• Refreshments for survivors undertaking long, exhausting journeys for statements, appointments, or trials. Small but meaningful acts of care that help reduce distress.

A contribution of £3,000 would directly strengthen frontline ISVA support, ensuring victims of sexual violence receive consistent, compassionate, trauma‑informed care throughout lengthy justice processes.

Immediate emotional support

• 30 adult survivor wellbeing packs (£50 each), providing grounding and self‑soothing items at moments of crisis, following disclosure, police interviews, or court hearings
• 20 children and young people’s wellbeing packs (£40 each), including comfort items, journals, calming tools, and sensory resources to support emotional regulation in a child‑centred, trauma‑informed way

Sustained recovery and coping

• 25 self‑care bundles (£30 each), supporting survivors to manage anxiety and trauma responses during prolonged investigations and trial delays, helping them remain engaged with the justice process
• Age‑appropriate information resources: illustrated and accessible materials enabling children and young people to understand complex processes, reducing fear and uncertainty

Ensuring access to justice

• ISVA travel support for 10+ mainland court journeys, allowing an ISVA to accompany survivors to Portsmouth Crown Court, ensuring advocacy, emotional containment, and continuity of support at critical points

Dignity and care on difficult days

• Hot drinks and snacks for survivors facing long travel days, early starts, and emotionally draining appointments. Simple support that communicates care, safety, and respect.

£30,000 would be a high‑impact investment, strengthening our ability to meet rising demand, maintain safe and high‑quality services, and continue helping vulnerable people rebuild their lives.

This would enable us to recruit and sustain an additional frontline practitioner, significantly strengthening our capacity to respond to need.

This funding would:

• Enable delivery of direct, face‑to‑face support to vulnerable individuals
• Reduce waiting times and prevent people reaching crisis point
• Allow more consistent, sustained engagement with clients who require long‑term support
• Increase our ability to respond flexibly to urgent and complex cases

An additional practitioner would directly translate into more people supported, more lives stabilised, and better outcomes achieved, ensuring that no one is turned away or left waiting at a critical moment due to lack of capacity.
