Trauma-Informed
Communities

Developing resources to support the community
sector in Bolton.

How might we work with lived experience practitioners, community organisations and volunteers to develop a safe and supportive VCSE sector that works to address the impact of trauma?

A Brilliant Thing CIC worked with VCSE organisations and Public Health in Bolton over 12 months, to understand how to become trauma informed as a sector.

We collaborated and cocreated with VCSE organisations and citizens, a toolkit and support programme, equipping the sector to adopt trauma-informed ways of working that help everyone feel safe and supported.
