Thank you for visiting these fundraising pages to find out about how you can help Hostage International in assisting people through the day-to-day emotional and practical difficulties caused by kidnaps and illegal detentions.

These are frightening and lonely experiences impacting not only the hostage but their family, friends, community, colleagues and employer. However, with your support Hostage International is here to help. 

We provide essential emotional support and access to specialist services to families throughout their ordeal and to hostages who have returned home; and bespoke training to organisations, government departments and NGOs, around best practice in family support and hostage reintegration.

We also work discreetly to encourage governments and employers to adopt policies and practices in family and post-release which take into account the family and former hostage perspectives.

Hostage International’s area of expertise is in supporting the families of those who are kidnapped – or held in arbitrary detention – outside their home country, and hostages after their release. We are not involved in kidnap resolution but fill a much-needed gap in support. 

Thank you for your interest.
