2016 Shortlist | Freedom from Torture
Freedom from Torture
Shortlist – Improving Impact – charities with 26+ paid staff
Who they are
Freedom from Torture works with survivors of torture in centres in Birmingham, Glasgow, London, Manchester and Newcastle (and via a capacity-building presence in Yorkshire and Humberside) to help them begin to rebuild their lives.
What they’ve achieved
Freedom from Torture is a good example of an organisation that had done very little self-evaluation in the past, but has recently developed their impact practice and used insight from this data to change their therapeutic approach.
This change enabled the charity to reach more people. The board has been heavily involved with the charity’s evolution, including helping to make connections with wider stakeholders including academics.
