      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - A day out to the farm</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nestled in the heart of London, Mudchute Farm offered the perfect escape from city life, giving families the chance to enjoy fresh air, explore open space, and get up close with animals — all with free entry. For many of the families we support, opportunities like this are few and far between, making the day all the more meaningful.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - Jolly’s time at Ella’s - ‘I always wanted to work in a charity that works with human trafficking, and I searched for charities in France first but found none that I related to. One day last summer, I saw an Instagram post from Halimot in Smiley News which led me to looking into Ella’s. I sent off an open application and within 48 hours, I had a reply, and that was it! During my time as an intern at Ella’s, I have learned so much; not just about the work but about the people behind it. I have witnessed first-hand the incredible dedication, compassion and resilience of the team.’</image:title>

      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - Diary of a Support Worker - Hi, I’m Maya and I’m an Accommodation Support Worker at Ella’s, which means I work closely with some of the women living in Ella’s’ safe houses. You don’t get to see my face, as we’re careful with identities at Ella’s, but here are my feet (left)  I work with six women at any one time, and I’ve been in this role for almost one year.</image:title>

      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - Impact Report 2022/2023 - Last year saw the opening of our new safe house, Ella’s’ third. We also increased our work with women living in neighbourhoods across London, many of them mums with young children. And we progressed our goal to become more survivor-led.</image:title>

      <image:caption>‘Doing the race in the very city where Ella's supports survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation made it all the more real for me, and really spurred me on to cross the line. Taking on a challenge such as a half marathon can be really tough mentally and physically. I found that, by raising money for Ella's, I had that extra bit of motivation to push me to the end.’ (Lauren)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - Impact Report 2021/2022 - It’s been another full year at Ella’s. We hoped to develop further as an organisation and to reach more women, and we’re pleased to say we achieved both these goals. In total, 47 women and 29 children benefited from our work last year, an 18.5 per cent increase on the year before. If you have supported Ella’s in any way over the last year, this is as much your Impact Report as ours. Thank you for all you do. Please do read the report in full if you can. If not, here’s a quick summary…</image:title>

      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - No place like home(s) - ‘I really enjoyed the ride, re-visiting homes… some of which I remembered and some I didn't,’ says Jon. ‘It was great exploring the British countryside by bike and I had some wonderful moments, cycling alone and also with friends. I was overwhelmed with the support I had in so many ways, and really pleased with the fundraising total for Ella's.’ By the time he’d finished the ride, Jon had raised an incredible £5,600 for Ella’s. Every pound will help unlock freedom among women who’ve survived trafficking and exploitation, and we are so grateful.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Business Manager and keen cyclist Alvaro (pictured) took on the challenge to support Ella’s. ‘Not many people are aware of the impact of human trafficking and the numbers of people affected,’ he says. ‘It makes me really happy that I can use my cycling to help raise awareness and money to support survivors. The work of Ella’s is so inspiring. The way they provide care and support for survivors of trafficking fills my heart with joy, and my aim with this ride was to share this with the world.’</image:caption>

Her friend Alex was originally part of the team but couldn’t continue due to health reasons, so Becky stepped up to take her place. Becky is an engineer specialising in wind turbines, and likes to run with her rescue lurcher, Flo. ‘It helps me process my thoughts,’ says Becky, who lives in Scotland. ‘</image:title>

      <image:title>Stories &amp; news - Bravery and strength: COVID-19 one year on - ‘Yeta was struggling with her mental health and felt too afraid to go outside, so my goal was to encourage her to go into the garden. Yeta loves flowers so we chose a rose bush to walk to, and we made it. It was beautiful – we smelt the flowers and ate some strawberries from the garden, and talked. We set a goal for our next visit, to step out of the front door, and maybe even go to the nearby park.’ It’s been difficult to be more distanced than usual, and we’re looking forward to being able to meet in person more freely. But we’re thankful that the connections between our team and the women we work with have remained strong, throughout this time.</image:title>

      <image:title>Fundraise - Olive’s story</image:title>
      <image:caption>Olive (9) wrote a book about her experiences during covid-19, with royalties donated to Ella’s. ‘I chose Ella’s because the women they support have been through horrible experiences...’, says Olive. ‘Like children, their voices are being heard less than others during the pandemic. And their freedoms have been even more limited. I want to raise as much money as possible for Ella’s.’ Olive has raised more than £170. We helped her with a press release, and her story was featured on ITV News and in the local newspaper. Go Olive!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Becca completed two marathons over two weekends in support of survivors, overcoming tendonitis and more to smash the challenge and raise £1,300 for survivors. ‘This is about me doing something for other women,’ Becca told us just before the first run. ‘When you realise that you are not alone, you share the strength to make it through the day, to build yourself up and flourish.’</image:caption>
