Transforming the care, support & protection of children affected by domestic abuse and homicide

Introduction

The Joanna Simpson Foundation believes it is vital to provide children with a safe, secure and supportive environment.

We focus on giving children the chance to heal, rebuild their lives and to strive for fulfilling and positive futures.  As well as improving the lives of many thousands of children today, we hope to have a positive impact for the next generation of society.

We aim to achieve this though:

  • Financial investment in services delivered by experts in their field who understand the needs of children affected by domestic homicide and abuse.
  • Leverage of skills and capability from the business sector to assure successful project delivery and outcomes.
  • Investment in targeted primary and secondary research to ensure investment is based on an informed basis of underlying needs and gaps.
  • Being a trusted and informed advisor of child centric public policies related to domestic abuse and homicide.

These are the forgotten victims of crime. Our mission is to ensure they get the justice they deserve, and to help them to move on from these traumatic events.
