CHILDREN AND WAR (UK)
We aim to reduce the psychological consequences of war and disaster on children by training responsible adults to implement the evidence-based group interventions that we have developed. We regularly train people from many different countries. We promote research into the effects of traumatic events in order to improve the help provided.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity is a small organisation entirely dependent on public donations to fund its work, with major risks identified as limited financial and personnel resources. The trustees report that they remain heavily involved in the charity's operations due to a reliance on dedicated trustees and volunteers rather than paid staff. The filing notes an urgent need to address fundraising to expand paid resources and reduce the risk of trustee burnout.
