Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page. We are a small home group from Christ Church New Malden who meet regularly to create much needed space in our busy schedules to, offer genuine support to eachother, contemplate issues, pray together and have a few laughs. We've joined together to raise money for Hope For Justice, which is a charity that our church is supporting. Some of us are running 8.2 miles to raise money for this very important cause.
Human trafficking is modern day slavery, either through enforced labour or sexual exploitation. Victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation are both brought in from outside the UK and are UK citizens that are moved from location to location here in Britain. Vulnerable girls are approached by a man who pretends to be their boyfriend who gains their trust through attention and gifts. The "boyfriend" then introduces the girl to their "friend". The "friend" is a trafficker who controls the "boyfriend" through threats and payments for him bringing him girls. The statistics here in the UK are staggering. Hope for Justice assisted 78 victims of human trafficking between 2012 and 2013. For more information and a short video visit www.hopeforjustice.org.uk/what-we-do
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
Thank you
Stephen, Ros, Nikki and Harriet
