Modern slavery
Helping survivors of modern slavery out of danger and building a new life
Modern Slavery can take many forms and it can be hard to spot, even though it’s often happening right where we are, but hidden in plain sight.
Many people are tricked, traded, and trapped into modern slavery by criminals as they try to escape poverty, persecution, and conflict.
We provide specialist support to protect and care for all adult survivors of modern slavery in England and Wales through a government contract which was first awarded in 2011.
Our confidential referral helpline 0800 808 3733 is available 24/7. Watch the video below to find out more about the people we help and how we work with them. For more information, click here.
Limelight: A Salvation Army documentary

Through restored archival footage and compelling interviews, Limelight reveals how the Limelight Department harnessed the power of new media to connect with people in imaginative ways. Their story is one of bold creativity and vision, showing The Salvation Army as a leader in using technology to make a difference. Read more …
