OUR FOUNDER
Founded in 2011 by Sophie Hayes, a British woman trafficked into sexual exploitation overseas, Sophie Hayes Foundation’s work has always been centred around sustainable freedom. Sustainable freedom means freedom from exploitation, slavery, and trafficking; and freedom to look to the future with renewed confidence, rebuilt skills, and a sense of purpose for survivors.
EMPOWERING NEW BEGINNINGS
Your generosity has a direct impact on the futures of survivors.
£1000 funds one woman through our year-long Employability Programme, and as little as £10 can provide a month of Wi-Fi to a woman accessing our course. Every gift changes lives.
