The Helen Bamber Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that the people they support are free and healthy (both physically and mentally), are safe, are protected from re-victimisation, detention and poverty, and have the ability and agency to integrate in and contribute to the communities around them.
The Helen Bamber Foundation
Founded in 2005 by Helen Bamber OBE (1925-2014), and currently run by Dame Emma Thompson, the Helen Bamber Foundation is a pioneering Human Rights charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers who are the survivors of extreme human cruelty. The people they work with have been subjected to atrocities including state-sponsored torture, human trafficking, religious and political persecution, forced labour, sexual exploitation, gender-based and ‘honour-based’ violence.
