Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon in aid of Anti-Slavery International.

People end up trapped in modern slavery because they are vulnerable to being tricked, trapped and exploited, often as a result of poverty and exclusion. Political, economic and social systems that disadvantage some  groups in society push people into taking risky decisions in search of opportunities to provide for their families. At the same time people may not have access to the sort of help and support that we take for granted – such as going to the police for help.

At Anti-Slavery International they look at those systems, those root causes, and do everything they can to try and re-balance them to provide people at-risk from slavery with an opportunity to build sustainable futures.
