As a provider of recruitment and HR consultancy and delivery services in the UK, The Curve Group will provide rapid recruitment and HR support for The Trust in the event of a national emergency. 

The Trust was launched by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales in November 2019 in response to a chain of devastating events that hit the UK in 2017: the Manchester Arena bombing, the Grenfell Tower fire, and the terror attacks in London at Westminster Bridge and London Bridge. 

The Trust supports those affected by UK emergencies at their time of greatest need, by raising and distributing funds fast and fairly to those affected and partnering with local and national charities to offer a range of services to help survivors and their families, including physical rehabilitation, mental health support, bereavement support and financial assistance.

As an integrated recruitment partner for The Trust, The Curve Group will be ready to step in to recruit and onboard new team members during its next emergency appeal, meaning The Trust team can focus on ensuring funds raised support those affected when they need it. 

Kelly York, chief operating officer at The Curve Group, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to support such a worthy organisation, one which truly makes a real difference to people’s lives during their time of need. Clearly, we hope our services will not be required, but if they are, we are putting the steps in place now to ensure we can support The National Emergencies Trust to focus on delivering the valuable and necessary support they offer.”
