As a Dad to 2 young girls, the number of children forced in to a form of modern slavery sickens me so I am doing my bit to help end it!
On Sunday 25th April 2027, I will be running the TCS London Marathon. Having entered the ballot every year for the last twelve and needing to defer my 2026 entry due to injury, I will pounding the streets of my hometown in aid of the TRIBE Freedom Foundation.
TRIBE Freedom Foundation is a community-driven charity fighting to end modern slavery and empower its survivors. They raise vital funds to support survivors of modern slavery in the UK. TFF was inspired by a 1,000 mile run from Ukraine to Croatia to fight human trafficking and establish the first UK home for trafficked children. This was the first Run for Love. Since then, they have continued to inspire thousands of everyday athletes and adventurers to raise more than £1.9m to fight modern slavery.
Their objectives are
Preventing modern slavery
Stakeholders, communities and individuals are equipped with the tools to better understand, identify and tackle the causes of modern slavery.
Provide long term survivor support
More survivors are holistically supported to regain independence and overcome their previous exploitation, for as long as they need.
To raise awareness
Communities are engaged to build awareness of modern slavery across their wider networks and increase levels of public understanding.
Modern Slavery comes in many forms of exploitation, including forced labour, domestic servitude, organ trafficking, and sexual, financial or criminal exploitation. Victims of modern slavery are unable to leave their situation of exploitation – controlled by threats, punishment, violence, coercion and deception. More information can be found here

In 2023, 16,921 potential victims of trafficking and slavery were referred to the National Referral Mechanism – the UK’s system for identifying and supporting victims. This was the highest number recorded by the UK authorities since the figures were first compiled in 2009 and saw referrals for women and children up by 24% and 44% respectively. British nationals made up the highest number of cases (accounting for 25% of all potential victims), followed by Albanian and Vietnamese nationals. In reality, however, the extent of slavery and trafficking in the UK is likely to be far greater than the NRM statistics would suggest. The Global Slavery Index estimated there were 122,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK in 2023.
How can you help? I realise that we are living in a very tough and economically challenging world but whatever amount you may be able to spare will be gratefully accepted by the foundation, allowing it to continue its work and help rebuild the lives of more survivors. Please feel free to share this post and my QR code so that I can reach my fundraising goal and even go far beyond it.
