A terror attack victim has spoken out about his experiences and his work with an Oxford-based charity to mark the seventh anniversary of the attack.

Travis Frain suffered injuries during the Westminster Bridge attack of March 22, 2017, where an individual used a hired vehicle to target pedestrians, before leaving the car to strike at nearby citizens with a bladed weapon.

Mr Frain, a 19-year-old university student at the time, was among the roughly 50 people injured, with another six individuals losing their lives.

Since the incident, Mr Frain has put relentless efforts into raising awareness on the threats of terrorism and campaigning for enhanced vigilance and protection.

As part of this mission, he became a patron of Oxford's emergency bandages charity, RAPAID.

Mr Frain, awarded an OBE in the King’s New Year’s Honours List, now serves as an advisor for the National Counter-Terrorism Advisory Group.

His contributions to counter-terrorism include delivering training workshops to an impressive tally of more than 100,000 young individuals.

He also continuously helped to raise awareness about RAPAID's vital work of releasing their life-saving kits of emergency bandages to taxis and public places across Britain.

On the anniversary of the Westminster Bridge atrocity, Alex Chivers, co-founder of RAPAID, spoke to Mr Frain about his journey to recovery and his role in the fight against terrorism.

Mr Frain said: "The attack changed my life massively – I went through a long stage of not knowing what I wanted to do career wise.

"After a long time of being aimless, I essentially decided that I was going to commit myself to counter-terrorism, and to doing what I could to try and improve things for other victims in future, as well as trying to prevent these kinds of attacks from happening full stop."

He strongly believes that people should be given first aid training and be able to recognise potential terror attack warning signs.

He insists that awareness of advice from the police, such as ‘stop, hide, tell’, is fundamental in combating such incidents.

The training, he said, is available free online at ProtectUK and takes less than an hour to complete.

Mr Frain played a pivotal role in founding The Resilience Project, which aims to gather and disseminate testimonials of those affected by terrorism.

He said: "The Resilience and Unity Project seeks to record and disseminate the testimonials of those affected by terrorism.

"I helped found it to raise awareness of these issues and to make it clear to people that these issues can affect anyone."

To improve resilience to the violence that's prevalent in society, he suggests people enhance their recognition of these issues.

"The bare minimum people can do is first aid training, and any other training on top of that only helps even more to be well prepared," Mr Frain said.

Acknowledging RAPAID's role in equipping society for the next incident, Mr Frain commended the charity’s provision of emergency kits that enable the public to stabilise injuries until professional help arrives.

As a patron, his aim is to use the platform he has gained through the media's focus on his experience to highlight the exceptional work RAPAID is doing.

He claims the charity has received overwhelming support from other survivors, who see from their personal experiences the importance of the cause.

Finally, Mr Frain encourages people to reach out and understand the importance of supporting organisations like RAPAID, stating: "We’ll be more than happy to make clear why this is so important, and to show how this could have made a real difference in saving the lives of the many people lost in terror attacks in the past."
