We can help with
- Trafficking is the movement of a person from one place to another for the purpose of exploitation: using them for somebody else’s gain. We help children and young people who have experienced this cope with the practical and emotional traumas of being trafficked. Our specialist support workers help them to understand what is happening in ways that they can understand and advocates for them with social care services, the police and immigration.

- All children, no matter where they’re from, or how they arrived in the UK, deserve to feel safe, happy, healthy and hopeful. We support children and families seeking sanctuary in the UK in a number of different ways. We help provide loving homes for children and young people who arrive on their own and help them get the healthcare and schooling they need. We also give parents practical support so their family can feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.
