The For Baby’s Sake Trust is delighted to announce a major funding boost from UBS and the UBS Optimus Foundation, supporting the Trust’s mission to break cycles of domestic abuse and provide trauma-informed therapeutic care to families across the UK.
Thanks to the outstanding fundraising efforts of UBS’s Global Markets team in the UK, who raised an impressive £34,200, and the generous match funding provided by UBS Social Impact and Philanthropy, The For Baby’s Sake Trust has received a total of £68,400 in funding.
This substantial contribution will enable the organisation to expand their support services and reach more families in need.
"We are incredibly grateful to UBS and UBS Global Markets colleagues for their generous support. This funding will empower us to continue our vital work and make a lasting impact on the lives of families affected by domestic abuse."
The For Baby’s Sake Trust is dedicated to creating healthier family environments and preventing the long-term impact of domestic abuse on children. With domestic abuse affecting 1 in 5 children in the UK, this funding comes at a crucial time and will make a significant difference in the lives of many families.
“Early childhood education and care is an area we are supporting through the holistic approach of our UBS Optimus Foundation portfolio, enabling children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to flourish from cradle to career. Our partnership with The For Baby’s Sake Trust is supporting some of the most vulnerable children and families to break cycles of abuse and help babies get the best start in life. We are delighted to be able to work in partnership with UBS’s clients, employees and The For Baby’s Sake Trust to support this pioneering and valuable work."
The UBS Optimus Foundation’s UK Education Collective Portfolio, which The For Baby’s Sake Trust is a part of, supports organisations that are working to transform educational outcomes in the UK to help ensure that all children, regardless of their background, can thrive in education and beyond.
This partnership represents a meaningful collaboration in the shared commitment to building happier, healthier families, and builds on the existing partnership between The For Baby’s Sake Trust and the UBS Optimus Foundation.
