In the briefest of moments,聽锘縜 catastrophic injury can shatter聽锘縮omeone鈥檚 life. Surviving is just the start.聽Most do not get the full support they need throughout the daunting process of recovery. Day One Trauma Support is there for people for as long as it takes, because we believe that no one should be left to rebuild their life on their own.

We offer practical, emotional and financial support to anyone who has experienced major trauma in the UK. We have a national online and phoneline service, provide bedside support in several Major Trauma Centres through our caseworkers, and in other major trauma hospitals through our outreach workers. We have a growing community of Peer Support Volunteers who use their lived experience of major trauma to help others, and inform research and policy so we can achieve better care and rehabilitation for future trauma survivors.

I鈥檓 JJ and it鈥檚 an honour to get behind Day One Trauma Support鈥檚 Lifeline Appeal.

For those who experience major traumatic injuries, it can seem like their whole world has changed forever, leaving them feeling not only pain, but alone as well.聽

A feeling I know only too well, when I suffered life-changing injuries from an explosion when serving in the Royal Marines. I was only 23 at the time, and all these years later I am still affected by both the physical and psychological impact of what happened to me.

The ripple effect is massive too, with family, friends and colleagues all impacted. And the sad truth is thousands of people aren鈥檛 getting the support they need to help rebuild their lives again.

That鈥檚 why I鈥檓 passionate about Day One. Thanks to your generosity, we can ensure no one is left to cope on their own.

Lucie鈥檚 injuries were so severe that doctors compared them to those seen on bomb blast victims. She was 19 when she was run over by a tractor and spent 18 months in hospital recovering from multiple, serious traumatic injuries, including amputation of her right leg. Lucie and her family were supported by a Day One Caseworker during her whole time in a major trauma hospital. It meant they had someone to confide in and provide crucial emotional support during the many down days of recovery, but also to offer practical advice around accessing benefits and adapting to life as a young disabled woman. Lucie is still on her recovery journey and faces further surgeries. But each time she鈥檚 back in hospital she knows she has Day One by her side.

Lily-Mae was just seven years old when she broke 15 bones in her skull and suffered a brain injury after being knocked to the floor in a freak zorbing accident while on holiday. Lily-Mae and her family were supported by Day One throughout her recovery. But it was while mum Katie was at home with Lily-Mae that she found Day One鈥檚 ongoing support crucial. The charity provided much-needed emotional support as well as help with practical things such as navigating a complicated new world of medical appointments. Over the past year the charity has helped Lily-Mae turn her traumatic experience into a positive through inspirational fundraising activities, a therapeutic writing campaign and meeting other survivors at national events.

Paul was left with catastrophic, life-changing injuries during the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017. His partner Elaine, who had been stood beside him in the foyer as they waited to collect his daughter from the Ariana Grande concert, died at the scene. Paul spent nine months in hospital, and many more recovering at home, where he felt alone and isolated. Years later Paul discovered Day One and spoke to a Peer Support Volunteer who had lived experience of major trauma. It transformed Paul鈥檚 life. So much so, that he is now a volunteer for the charity himself - helping ensure others like him don鈥檛 have to rebuild their life on their own after catastrophic injury.
