Today, Hampton Trust turns 30!
In 1996, a small group of people in Hampshire had a belief that felt radical at the time: that to truly tackle domestic abuse, you had to engage and change the behaviour of those causing it, not just respond after the harm was done.
Three decades on, that belief underpins some of the most effective domestic abuse intervention work in England and Wales. In the last year alone, we supported more than 3,000 people and trained over 1,000 frontline professionals across the country.
But this anniversary isn't just a moment to look back. Domestic abuse affects 1 in 4 people in England and Wales at some point in their lifetime. On average, one woman is still being killed every week by a current or former partner.
So today, alongside marking 30 years, we're launching Choose YOUR 30!, our anniversary fundraising and awareness campaign.
We're inviting people, families, workplaces and community groups across Hampshire to take on a personal challenge connected to the number 30. Run 30km, perform 30 acts of community kindness, take 30 cold-water swims – whatever works as a challenge for you.
Every challenge taken on, every pound raised, goes directly towards work that rebuilds lives and creates safer communities.
