OUR WORK

Medaille Trust is one of the UK’s leading charities in the fight against modern slavery. Our innovative model is based on three principles: Prevent, Protect and Pursue.

Our Prevent work includes advocacy and awareness raising work in the UK and a new Albanian project with an entrepreneurship academy helping to provide meaningful alternatives to those who might otherwise be at risk of exploitation.

Our Protect work provides direct and tailored support to victims of modern slavery. We are one of the UK’s largest providers of survivor services, with ten safehouses and six outreach hubs, staffed round the clock by specialist staff, working with more than 600 men, women and dependent children each year.

Our Pursue work helps survivors to engage with police and within the legal system to seek justice and to secure convictions against their perpetrators.

We were founded in 2006 by a number of religious congregations under the leadership of Sister Ann Teresa SSJA and our work continues to be inspired by her example and commitment to the Catholic Social Teaching principles of human dignity, compassion and solidarity with the vulnerable. All our work embodies a commitment to personalised support, recognising the dignity and agency of our service users and empowering them on a path to a life that is free from slavery and exploitation.
