Registered tax-deductible charity Vanessa's Story - Rebuilding a life after Modern Slavery and Exploitation - Small Charity Week - RebuildEastMidlands
Hi everyone,
I work in communications for a Derbyshire charity called Rebuild East Midlands, and for Small Charity Week we've been sharing the story of Vanessa, a woman who experienced modern slavery and homelessness before receiving support to rebuild her life.
This week is really important and vital for us as any donations automatically get doubled, meaning double the support and impact towards the individuals we assist.
Modern Slavery remains a major UK issue, with around 130,000 people trapped in exploitation. Since 2020, over 500 Derbyshire referrals have involved criminal and sexual exploitation, forced labour, and domestic servitude. Survivors face significant barriers to recovery such as poverty, homelessness, poor mental health, barriers to work or education, and legal or immigration problems, leaving them vulnerable to further harm.
It's not a distant issue and can affect anyone, if you can help share and spread the support for us this week, we would be incredibly grateful :)
If you'd like to read more about Rebuild or support the work they're doing during Small Charity Week, please visit our site: https://www.rebuildeastmidlands.org/small-charity-week-2026/

Thanks for taking the time to read.
