Every initiative we support — and every one we have completed.

Transparency is the point. These are the appeals we are funding now, and the work we have already delivered, with the outcome of each.

The Phoenix Foundation does not collect donations on this website. Each active programme is funded through its own campaign on an established fundraising platform, so contributions go directly to that campaign rather than through us. Dedicated campaign pages are still being connected; for now, the buttons below open the platforms’ own sites.

Front-Line Fatigue: Ukraine Recovery Programme

Referral comes from unit medical officers when prolonged combat exposure begins to tell. Each of the 120 places — about £2,900 — funds clinical assessment, a three-week rest placement at a partner clinic in Kyiv or Lviv, and a follow-on course of trauma-focused therapy. Our first programme inside Ukraine.

Aftermath: PTSD Treatment for Veterans

Veterans referred while on an NHS waiting list are assessed and matched with an accredited private clinician near where they live. Each place, at about £1,760, covers assessment, a full course of trauma-focused therapy, and a closing review. Treatment begins within weeks of referral rather than after months on a list.
