Making a Real Difference – Our Charitable Impact
Every year, TRIC’s President and Chairman carefully select charities doing vital work that desperately needs our support. These aren’t just token partnerships – they’re meaningful commitments to causes that transform lives and create lasting change in our communities. Through every award ceremony, lunch, and exclusive event we host, we’re not just celebrating British talent – we’re generating crucial funds for charities that might otherwise struggle to continue their life-changing work.
From supporting vulnerable young people to providing emergency shelter for those fleeing domestic violence, our events create a direct pipeline between entertainment excellence and genuine social impact. When you attend a TRIC event, sponsor an award, or become a corporate partner, you’re not just networking or celebrating – you’re actively contributing to causes that save lives, build futures, and offer hope where it’s needed most. This is what makes TRIC special: every moment of celebration becomes a moment of giving, turning the power of British entertainment into a force for positive change. Because great entertainment should do more than entertain – it should make the world better.
Refuge
Refuge is the UK’s largest domestic abuse charity, which provides specialist support services to thousands of women and children experiencing domestic violence every year. Refuge operates a 24-hour National Domestic Violence Helpline, a network of safe houses across the country, and community outreach programmes that quite literally save lives. They provide not just emergency accommodation, but the practical and emotional support that helps survivors rebuild their futures.
Bright Young Dreams
Bright Young Dreams helps address the urgent global crisis in children’s mental health, with the mission to raise over £5 million. I was involved in setting up Bright Young Dreams with Jessica Ennis Hill, Jon Richardson & Lucy Beaumont a few years ago and we have a bold plan to try and help transform Children’s mental health provision in the UK. Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds.The consequences of failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults. The problem is not going away… it’s getting worse and we need to address it. That is where Bright Young Dreams comes in.
