Mission Statement
Our mission is to ensure survivors of trafficking and exploitation have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free.
About This Cause
At Ella's, we do everything we can to ensure survivors of trafficking and exploitation have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free. Our model is simple, proven and effective. We provide safe houses for women when they are at their most vulnerable, tailored care to help them recover, and long-term community-based support as they rebuild their lives. Without this, many would fall back into danger. Marie's story 'This is the best place I've lived,' says Marie, one of Ella's' safe house residents. 'Since I came to Ella's, I haven't been admitted into hospital once.' Marie is a survivor of trafficking, still in her early 20s. She grew up in another country and was exploited from childhood. She was never really free. When she arrived at Ella's, Marie's mental health was in a bad way. She'd been in hospital a number of times. She was traumatised, and lacked the confidence and basic life skills she needed to live safely. But 18 months later, Marie is making incredible progress. The care and community she's experienced at Ella's, together with the mental health support and other services we've helped her to access, have changed everything for Marie. 'I used to feel completely isolated,' she says. 'During my time at Ella's, I've felt more loved than I ever have before in my life.' Marie is still living in our safe house, but has reached the stage where we can help her make goals for her future. We've helped her apply and settle into a part-time job in a supermarket, and begin studying design at university. Neither of these things would have been possible for Marie before she came to Ella's. The need we're addressing is urgent, vast and growing. Around the world, 40.3 million people are trapped in modern slavery. And of those trafficked, more than 70% are women and girls. Every donation will benefit women like Marie. Thank you so much for your support. For more about Ella's, visit www.ellas.org.uk/
