Ella’s on the BBC
We featured on the BBC recently, with Ella's' founder and Co-Director Emily Chalke and one of the women we work with interviewed by journalist Frankie McCamley.
The story centred around how public donations given in response to the tragic murder of Sarah Everard, are today helping to change the lives of other women through charities including Ella's.
More than £550,000 was donated by the public, which was distributed by Rosa to a large number of specialist organisations helping survivors of violence, including Ella’s. Today, this funding is making a life-saving difference in the lives of women like Amy…
Rebuilding Lives
“He took my passport, my credit card, my jewelry, and my clothes. I had nothing. I was so scared they were going to kill me and put me in the garden and no-one would know.”
After being trafficked to London from Northern Africa, she was forced into domestic slavery. One day, she saw her opportunity to escape and ran without any money, food, or spare clothes.
Amy is now living in one of our safe houses, receiving the support she needs to rebuild her confidence and her life.
