About us

The Victims and Survivors Trust is a charitable organisation based in the north eastern six counties of Ireland, drawing most of its membership from the West of the city of Belfast but with links to the rest of the island and to Britain.
It is the Trust's belief that the most fitting memorial to all of the victims of the war on the two islands of Ireland and Britain will be a peaceful outcome brought about through dialogue, understanding and the promotion of the truth.
