New Impact Report out now

We launched a three-year strategy in September 2020 to strengthen our organisation and maximise the impact of our work among survivors of trafficking and exploitation.

To mark the end of the first year of our strategy, September 2020 to August 2021, we have put together an Impact Report. And there is so much to celebrate.

THE YEAR IN NUMBERS

• 36 women supported

• 28 children benefiting

• 16 women enrolled in skills training

• 12 women supported in pregnancy and postnatally

• 41 online community sessions including yoga and baking

• 172 new individual givers

• 7 pieces of press coverage

Three highlights

• We evaluated and refined our work to increase as well as evidence our impact among survivors. As part of this, we expanded our work with women in the community. You can read more about that here.

• We refreshed our brand and launched a new website, and increased our team from eight to 11 brilliant members of staff.

• We’ve put plans in place to open our third safe house in early 2022.

The Impact Report contains key highlights, achievements and numbers from the year, and a summary of our direction for year two. Most importantly, it includes testimonials and stories from the women we work with, who are and always will be at the very heart of everything we do. You can read the Impact Report in full, here.
