Weekly update

Did you know that more men, women and children toil in slavery now than during the entire course of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade? This illicit trade generates profits in excess of £6bn a year for those engaged in the sale of our fellow human beings. These are shocking statistics, but ones that should not be ignored.

We will be meeting this coming Wednesday (20th) at Coffee Republic for a session looking at the issue of human trafficking and modern slavery. We are very excited to have a guest speaker from rescue and anti-trafficking organisation, International Justice Mission, coming to tell us more about the subject, as well as encouraging stories of hope amidst the darkness.

Please make an effort to join us for what promises to be another thought-provoking and inspiring evening. As ever, doors will be open from 7:30pm, so come along for a coffee and a pastry before the session begins. (Our spend on refreshments is part of the way that we pay for use of the venue, so please do buy something to help us cover costs.)

See you there!

PS - Did everyone get in touch with their MP about the Rio Declaration on climate change and sustainability? Did anyone get a response? Do let us know if you hear anything...
