Unlling Chrithan$ in Woles
to eombat slavery
We reflect on the last 12 months with a great deal of humble grdtitude. Our team of
trustees remain committed lo the task of uniting Christians in Wales to combat slavery
and have been thrilled to spe Red Community making an impart in the following ways:
Embrace
Our Embrace project continues to support survivors of modem slavery Ihrough
befriendirtrg and sponsorship. The befrtending project has seen dozens of women from
churches of variou5 denominations trained as befrienders and consequently 8
survivors in South Wales have been blessed with the g¢ft of friendship this year.
Furthermore. £6.371 has been awarded in small grants through our sponsorship
scheme in 2023124. This has enabled 88 survivors to be able to pay for their basic
needs such as transpori to work, counselling and providing school unifonns for their
children.
Incredibly. since the Embrace project started, we have seen 87 Survivors matched with
befrienders and £46,178 given through our sponsorship. We rejoi￿ at these numbers
and are filled with gratilude to all who support Red Community financially. We are also
deeply thankful for our amazing Embra￿ Goordinator. Lauren. who do8s a
phenomenal job administrating the project. Above all we give God all the glory.
Caru
The Caru project continued through the year following the transfer to red Community
with Louise spending time visitirbg the streets and massage partours providing advice.
comfort and assistance to the working girls.
Arise
This yearfs Arise conference was held on Saturday 21 st October 2023 at Grangetown
Baptist Church. The focus of the conference was prayer with time being spent in
discussion of each of the Red Community ministries then praying for the Lord's
continued guidan￿ and blessing. The conference was well attended with positive
feedbaGk from the attendees.
Justice Learning Group
At the Arise conferenc£ we launched the Justice Leaming Group written and run by
one of our wonderful trustees, Dave. The Justice Leaming Group was offered as a free
course for Christians wanting to gain a Biblical perspective on how th8y can advocate
for people experiencing povety and injustice, and consequently use their time and
energy pursuing justice in their communities.
Raising of funds and awareness
Finally, we are grateful to the many individuals and churches who are passionate and
creative in their support for our work to fighl for the trafficked. exploited ar¢d enslaved
in Wales and beyond.

There has been a surplus of income over expenditure in the current year with an
increase in year-on-year individual and church donations.
Expenditure is broadly in line wtth the previous year, mostly related to the grants and
èxpenses related to the Embrace projecl supporting survivors of trafficking and
slavery.
The Caru project income and expenses {held as restricted funds) are shown for the
first time since the transfer with a slight eX￿s$ of expenditure over income.
As the donors of the of funding have not specified uses for their cnntributions, all other
amounts are currently held in a general unrestricted fvnd to be utilised for the work of
Red Community at the trustees, discretion.
Th8 Embrace work tends to focus on wofnen. so it is still our intention to revive the
Red Treks walking group for male su￿1VorS which stopped during the p8ndemic_ Also,
it is planned to expand Embrace activities westwards to cover the Swansea area.
We are planning to review the changing situation facing sex workers in Cardiff prior to
putting plans in place to continue sharing the love of Jesus with these preGiOUS women
through the Caru Project. perhaps using a different model of support.
We continue to hope for some volunteer interns to leam and serve alongside us as we
pursue our mission to unite Christians in Wales to combat slavery.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity
Commission's general gLJidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and
objeclives and in planning future aclivities.
In conclusion, we remain committed to fighting for the trafficked, exploited and
enslaved in Wales and beyond. We are thanlrful to all those who support us prayerfully
and financially_ Above all we rern￿n grateful to the God of mercy and justice who
continues to inspire. provide and protect the ministries of Red Community.
The trustees would consider il pnjdent to retain three months operating costs as a
reserve which would equate to approximately £2.000.
