Imagine living every day feeling overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, or flashbacks triggered by past trauma. This is the daily reality for millions of people in the UK suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). But together, we can change that. By nominating PTSD UK as your Charity of the Year, you can help bring hope, healing, and support to those who need it most.

Many employers, local clubs, and small businesses across the UK have a Charity of the Year programme, where employees or members can nominate a cause close to their hearts. If your organisation has such a programme, we’d love for you to nominate PTSD UK!

Why Nominate PTSD UK?

PTSD UK is the only charity in the UK solely dedicated to raising awareness of PTSD and C-PTSD, no matter what trauma caused it. Trauma can affect anyone, and PTSD is more common than many realise – 10% of people in the UK will experience PTSD or C-PTSD at some point in their lives.

Unfortunately, up to 70% of people living with PTSD or C-PTSD never receive the professional help they need. This is where PTSD UK can help. We work tirelessly to raise awareness, provide life-changing resources, and ensure that people understand their symptoms, know that treatment is available, and realise that recovery is possible.

By choosing PTSD UK as your Charity of the Year, you will be making a huge difference to those in need, helping to:

• Raise awareness so more people can recognise PTSD and C-PTSD symptoms in themselves or their loved ones.
• Expand access to support by providing resources that help people understand their diagnosis, get treatment, and begin their recovery journey.
• Campaign for change by advocating for better care and recognition for people affected by PTSD and C-PTSD, especially in high-risk communities.

With a 114% increase in demand for our services recently, our resources are stretched to their limits. Your support can make a real impact on the lives of those who feel isolated, misunderstood, or unsupported due to trauma.

Why Choose PTSD UK?

• We are the only UK charity solely focused on PTSD and C-PTSD, supporting people from all walks of life.
• We provide life-changing resources to help people understand their condition and seek treatment.
• Our work reaches over 660,000 people each year, with 1.5 million page views on our website.
• We advocate for better PTSD care through the government and NHS, pushing for real change.

Your support will help us continue this vital work and reach even more people who need our help.
