Modern slavery

Helping survivors of modern slavery out of danger and building a new life

Modern Slavery can take many forms and it can be hard to spot, even though it’s often happening right where we are, but hidden in plain sight.

 Many people are tricked, traded and trapped into modern slavery by criminals as they try to escape poverty, persecution and conflict.

We provide specialist support to protect and care for all adult survivors of modern slavery in England and Wales through a government contract which was first awarded in 2011. 

Our confidential referral helpline 0800 808 3733 is available 24/7. Watch the video below to find out more about the people we help and how we work with them.

Anti Slavery Day

Thousands of people are trapped in modern slavery in communities across the UK and we are concerned that recent changes in the law could prevent them from gaining their freedom. We need your help to urge the Government to restore their rights to access support.
