Funds raised through your incredible efforts will go towards supporting survivors of modern slavery* 

Modern Slavery is not just a problem in other countries. It exists in our own, local communities here in the UK. It is inconceivable to think that today, woman, men and children are treated as commodities – bought and sold to satisfy the greed and desires of others. 

We passionately believe that no one is beyond hope, however great their problems.  So very often, through our care, support, practical help and the time we freely give, people find the strength to turn their lives around.  Above all, we are a friend to people who have nowhere else to turn, offering love and hope in place of despair.

* Or your funds raised can go towards any Salvation Army project or Salvation Army Corps close to your heart.
