- Trafficking is the movement of a person from one place to another for the purpose of exploitation: using them for somebody else’s gain. We help children and young people who have experienced this cope with the practical and emotional traumas of being trafficked. Our specialist support workers help them to understand what is happening in ways that they can understand and advocates for them with social care services, the police and immigration.

- No child should be left to deal with poor mental health alone so we provide services supporting children and young people's emotional health and wellbeing. We have centres where children and young people can visit and have a trained worker they can trust and talk to. We help them build their confidence and get to the root of their difficulties so they can feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.
