"WORKING TO BREAK THE CYCLES OF VIOLENCE, CONFLICT, ABUSE AND SOCIAL ISOLATION"

The Hampton Trust was established in 1996 and runs programmes and projects for families, children, young people and individuals who, at certain times in their lives, may need additional support to overcome a challenge.

In addition, we work at a strategic county and national level to address violence and abuse, undertake research, and promote innovative evidence based solutions.

Planning for the Future - Undertake our short survey
The Hampton Trust has been fortunate to be short listed for the Silver Dreams Fund run in conjunction with the Daily Mail.  Over 1,400 organisations submitted ideas on how to help improve the lives of older people, and our idea was one of only thirty ideas chosen to go forward to the next stage. 
In Britain we spend a lot of time planning, our shopping, weekends, christmas, holidays, savings, careers, weddings, and our retirement. Many of us plan for our death by making a will.  But the one area where we generally don’t make any plans is when a life changing event, such as the diagnosis of a progressive disease, alters the course of our futures.  A diagnosis, such as dementia or terminal cancer, can result in a time of our lives when we are most vulnerable and most in need of ensuring our voices heard. The Trust's idea is to introduce a free service to help people have a say in what they want to happen at the end of their lives. The aim is to reduce any potential crisis or emergency situations, possible abuse and ensure each person receives the care and support that matters to them. The service would help an individual outline areas to think about and plan for. It would help communicate what is important to that person to their family, friends and to health and social care services.

By completing the short survey you will be helping us to try and understand if the idea we submitted to Silver Dreams is worth going through to the next stage. 

There will be several prizes for taking part in this survey which will be drawn on 14th February 2012
