Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise money for victims of Modern Day Slavery/Human Trafficking. Human trafficking is the second largest illegal trade in the world.  Victims of human trafficking are subjected to coercion, exploitation, deception, kidnap, false imprisonment and rape. Bawso’s role in supporting victims of human trafficking across Wales is fundamental and provides spaces where victims can feel safe receive specialist support and can begin their recovery.  The Bawso Diogel project has had a significant impact on the lives of the many people they have supported in Wales since 2009.  Alongside supporting people through a crisis situation, Bawso also works long term to provide emotional support through counselling, advocacy, health guidance and education.  

Since 2009, Bawso has supported 1291 people and  in 2017  alone we supported 364 under our Modern Slavery/Human Trafficking Project.        

"Bawso has changed my life. I now feel great. I feel confident about myself.   I feel safe and as a result of the support, training and courses I am now able to do what I want to do with myself.   It has given me a sense of direction”.
