Story
On the 19th March 2023, a team of TRIBE runners will put themselves to the test. Our sights are set on the Barcelona Marathon. We will bring together a team of runners of all levels across the country with the mission to smash our PBs and see how close we can get to shaving 10% off.
The TRIBE 10% Project is our way of defying the injustice of modern slavery. Our freedom to run, as a TRIBE, covering thousands of miles in training together, and pushing our boundaries to cut that 10% is a privilege as much as it is a challenge.
Our goal is to increase awareness of modern slavery and raise £50,000 to support TRIBE Freedom Foundation, preventing modern slavery and empowering the survivors across the UK.
Why the need?
Slavery is everywhere - but it often isn't obvious. There are an estimated 136,000 victims in the UK alone with almost 50 million people trapped in modern slavery worldwide.
Modern slavery can be in many things we take for granted, from the clothes we wear to our food and drink. Modern slavery takes many forms and includes sex trafficking, child exploitation and forced labour on farms and building sites.
TRIBE Freedom Foundation is on a mission to fight modern slavery and end human trafficking. We work by raising awareness of trafficking, supporting survivors and enabling frontline projects to prevent modern slavery. We empower communities to create an impact.
Right now, global events including climate change, the long-term impacts of COVID-19, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the rising cost of living, all continue to destabilise already fragile communities and contribute to a heightened risk of exploitation.
A holistic approach to prevention and long-term support for survivors could not be more important.
As a team, we aim to raise £50,000 to support our work at TRIBE Freedom Foundation. This could help cover a year's total safe house costs for a survivor of modern slavery in one of our TRIBE-funded survivor homes.
Together, we go further and faster to end modern slavery.
Let's do this!
