Day One Trauma Support provides small, practical grants to people across the UK recovering from major physical trauma, with a strong emphasis on helping them get through hospital stays and the early stages of rebuilding daily life. Their support is highly person-centered and often tied to emergency needs such as travel, accommodation, replacement clothing, mobility aids, and other hardship costs, alongside peer and emotional support. The organization appears especially focused on trauma survivors and their families, often those facing sudden life changes after road crashes, farming accidents, amputations, brain or spinal injuries, or other catastrophic injuries.
Small, short-term grants for urgent and unexpected costs; support appears to be responsive and case-based rather than programmatic, with additional peer-support services and no evidence of a formal open grant cycle or large multi-year awards.
Applicants should look for help early in the trauma/recovery process and be prepared to show how the grant will address an immediate practical hardship. The available data suggests support is UK-based and likely referral or case-led rather than a competitive open application process, so contacting Day One directly for eligibility and next-step guidance is advisable.
