SAFECHAIN™
Masquerade Gala
Unmasking Silence. Honouring Survivors.
Rebuilding Safeguarding Systems.
An invitation to stand
for something that matters
On 30 October 2026, SAFECHAIN™ hosts its inaugural Masquerade Gala in Winchester — an evening of elegance, reflection, and purpose in support of safeguarding reform and the voices of survivors of domestic abuse across the United Kingdom.
We are inviting a select group of organisations to partner with us as sponsors — placing your name alongside a movement that is changing how institutions respond to domestic abuse, coercive control, and systemic failure.
This is not a conventional charity dinner. It is a gathering of professionals, policymakers, advocates, legal practitioners, and survivors united by a single conviction: that the silence ends here.
"Behind every mask is a story. When we unmask silence together, we build systems that actually protect."
— Samantha Avril-Andreassen FRSA, Founder, SAFECHAIN™A framework built to
close the safeguarding gap
SAFECHAIN™ is a structural safeguarding and governance framework designed to address the fragmentation that occurs when police, courts, healthcare, housing, and social care each hold a piece of a survivor's story — but no institution carries it forward.
Founded by Samantha Avril-Andreassen FRSA — author, legal expert, and survivor — SAFECHAIN™ operates at the intersection of policy research, professional training, and institutional reform. It is not advocacy. It is accountability architecture.
SAFECHAIN™ works with local authorities, NHS trusts, legal professionals, universities, and safeguarding leads to embed trauma-informed compliance into institutional practice — not as awareness, but as auditable, structural change.
What your guests
will experience
The SAFECHAIN™ Masquerade Gala is a landmark evening in the safeguarding reform calendar. Your guests will be part of an historic first — the inaugural gathering of a movement that is reshaping how the United Kingdom responds to domestic abuse.

A declaration.
Sponsoring the SAFECHAIN™ Masquerade Gala is a public declaration that your organisation takes safeguarding seriously — not as a tick-box exercise, but as a structural commitment. In a landscape where domestic abuse affects 2.3 million people annually in the UK, your visibility at this event sends a message to your clients, your staff, and your sector.
For legal firms, NHS trusts, local authorities, housing providers, and corporate organisations, this sponsorship aligns with your safeguarding duties, your ESG commitments, and your public-facing values. It also grants access to SAFECHAIN™ professional training — the most rigorous trauma-informed compliance framework currently in development in the UK.
Sponsorship packages are available immediately. The event is 30 October 2026. Early partners receive the greatest visibility across all promotional activity between now and the event date.
