The Trust was set up in Suzy's name to empower individuals and organisations to make a stand against all forms of abuse, aggression, and violence, across their personal and professional lives.
They are a rapidly growing charity that delivers high value impact to its beneficiaries, through its legacy, integrity, and credibility. They have educated millions of lone and frontline workers across all sectors for over three and half decades, and campaigned heavily to drive changes in the law, as well as having supported over 75,000 victims and survivors of stalking since the inception of its National Stalking Helpline service in 2010.
