St Anselm’s Lent Charity 2016

The response to the Advent/Crib charity at St. Anselm’s was phenomenal as we broke all records raising much needed funds for the persecuted church in Syria, and for refugees, by helping Aid to the Church in Need. This Lent our attention turns to a UK based charity ‘The Medaille Trust’ 

The Medaille Trust was founded in 2006 by a number of religious congregations in response to the plight of thousands of people who are being trafficked into the UK each year. The Trust was established as a charity and opened its first safe house in January 2007.

A major part of the Trust’s work is to raise awareness of the plight of those who are enslaved and exploited in the trafficking industry, and campaign on their behalf. This includes people forced into slavery and the sex trade. Many of them are vulnerable young people to begin with.

The work of the Medaille Trust is the empowerment of women, young men and children, who have been freed from the human-trafficking industry here in the UK, enabling them to regain dignity and self-worth.

They do this by providing safe housing and offering opportunities for physical and psychological healing and rehabilitation. The charity raises awareness of the plight of those who are enslaved and exploited in the UK and campaign on this issue. Please be generous in your support.
