This campaign has now closed

We want to provide relief, help, assistance and support to victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation through the provision of safe and appropriate accommodation. In 2003 it has been recorded that 4,000 people were trafficked into the UK, unofficially the number was far higher! Currently there is no safe house provision in the South West for victims of trafficking and throughout the whole of the UK there are currently only 35 bed spaces available. Our long term aim is to provide 50 beds in the South West for victims of trafficking.
