DON'T STAY SILENT



Help Raise Emergency Funds


There is a serious shortage of financial help for victims and potential victims of human trafficking in the UK.

Victims are often people from other countries, so in many cases they cannot immediately access welfare benefits or work. They can face destitution as a result. Unable to afford food or other essentials, these vulnerable and abused people remain at serious risk of harm.

Don't Stay Silent is a fund which exists to address this silent suffering. The fund provides emergency financial support to victims of human trafficking and those vulnerable to being trafficked in and around Preston, Lancashire. This support can help bring people back from the brink of danger at points of financial crisis, by helping them resist the lure of the traffickers, who may offer the perception of basic security, but at the expense of the victim's freedom and dignity.

The fund is managed by Codia and relies entirely on generous donations from members of the public and businesses.

By making a one-off or regular donation to the fund, you can help vulnerable individuals break the bonds which make them susceptible to being trafficked or re-trafficked.

After you have made your donation, tell your family, friends and work colleagues about the problem. Encourage them to donate too. That way this fund can provide more help to more people. Don't stay silent. Make some noise on behalf of people caught between two evils - slavery and destitution.
