Resilience in Unity

Resilience in Unity works to amplify the voices of those with lived experience of terrorism & extremism to act as a counter narrative against radicalisation

Lovely to sit down for a proper chat with Lord Hanson @RTHondavehanson, @ukhomeoffice Minister, a couple of weeks’ ago. Plenty to discuss with our campaigns and counter-extremism work- thank you for your time!

[Travis D. Frain OBE DL @travisfrain]

Great to catch up with @AlexJJNorris, the @ukhomeoffice Minister for Border Security, last week.

A great champion for our cause, and a lot of interesting areas for discussion given his current portfolio! @ResilienceUnity

Neil’s leadership, experience, and commitment to the protection of British citizens make him an invaluable voice in shaping our mission to foster resilience, and we look forward to working with him to continue amplifying the voices of those with lived experience within security.

Grateful to @IainDale for a very thoughtful interview last night, allowing me to share my thoughts on the attack in Manchester.

Beyond the initial shock, this should absolutely serve as a clarion call for all to double down on our efforts to challenge the spread of extremism.

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

Yesterday’s attack on a Manchester synagogue is a stark reminder of the threats our communities face.

Our founder, @travisfrain, spoke with @IainDale on @LBC @LBCNews about resilience, solidarity, and support for those affected.

Watch a clip of the interview below.

The team has been appalled to observe the incident unfolding today in Manchester.

The Chair of our @UKParliament APPG on Terrorism & Security, @AndyMacNaeMP , has issued a statement, an excerpt of which can be read in brief below. The full statement is available on his page.

[Travis D. Frain OBE DL @travisfrain]

Currently in Birmingham sharing my story with students to raise awareness of radicalisation & extremism, and just seen the awful scenes unfolding back home- with methodology all too similar to the attack I was involved in. Dreadful to see, and just brings it all rushing back.

Last month, we were hosted in Parliament by @Matt_VickersMP, Shadow Minister for Crime, Policing, and Fire, for a roundtable to explore how Governments can better support victims of terrorism to become changemakers and positive advocates in the fight against violent extremism.

[Travis D. Frain OBE DL @travisfrain]

Grateful to @coalition for their continued collaboration and efforts to amplify the voices of those affected by terrorism

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

We were delighted to be invited to address delegates at @SocTerRes Annual International Conference at @RoyalHolloway last month.

We’re always keen to collaborate to amplify the voices of those with lived experience of terrorism - get in touch now!

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

At Resilience in Unity, we deeply align with these principles, and we’re proud to stand alongside organisations committed to shaping policy that truly supports those affected by terrorism.

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

If you watched the recent debate on support for terror survivors, you may have heard @AndyMacNaeMP reference the Survivors' Charter and its eight key principles.

Created by @Survivors_a_t the Charter outlines what effective, compassionate support for survivors should look like.

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

This opportunity to help guide and support the APPG’s work is a powerful platform to make that vision a reality.
We’ll be sharing updates and insights as the APPG continues its work. Stay connected and help us keep survivor voices front and centre.

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

Announcing the newly formed All-Party Parliamentary Group on Terrorism & Security & secretariat,

The APPG will be led by:
🔹@AndyMacNaeMP (Chair)
🔹@BishManchester (Vice-Chair)
🔹@jfoster2019 (Vice-Chair)
🔹@coyleneil (Vice-Chair)
🔹@travisfrain (Chief of Secretariat)

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

Their leadership demonstrates a growing commitment across Parliament to listen to survivors, support community resilience, and understand the long-term realities of living with the impact of terrorism. At Resilience in Unity, we’ve long advocated for survivor-led change.

[Resilience in Unity @ResilienceUnity]

This APPG brings together cross-party voices to explore how terrorism affects individuals, communities, and wider society, and crucially, how Parliament can do more to support those impacted. This marks a significant step forward in addressing gaps.
