Who we are

Our Survivor School provides survivors long-term wrap around support. We do this by running free, personalised classes to assist them in recovering from complex trauma. Further, we have courses to help them become ready to work. Our Peer Support Program provides activities, workshops, community building and recreational sports.

We run our social enterprise businesses to help with the funding of the administration of these activities. Our cafe, event venue and online retail, not only raise funds, but also become a focal point for community involvement and awareness. As a result, most of our administrative costs are covered by the business, and our supporters’ donations go directly to helping survivors.

Ending Modern Slavery by Empowering Survivors and Transforming Business.

  • Help survivors recover and rebuild their lives through our survivor schools.
  • Partner in the fight to end global slavery by working with companies to address the risk to people and their human rights response in the workplace and value chains.
