Great to see churches raising awareness of modern slavery and using our posters so brilliantly! @RASJF3 @Ruth_E_Chapman . Well done St Matthews!

We give thanks for the wonderful witness and ministry of Pope Francis – especially his leadership of the worldwide fight against modern slavery. His support, teaching and example have been a source of inspiration and practical guidance for The Clewer Initiative. @theclewer

Coming soon! Our six-week Lent course, based on Luke 13. We pray it will nourish your Christian faith and strengthen your understanding of modern slavery in the UK. @theclewer @clewer_the

Waiting in the Wilderness is the fifth Lent course produced by @theclewer and @clewer_the Every year, we have been encouraged to hear of groups, gathering during Lent to reflect and pray, and learn more about how best to respond to modern slavery.

We also work at a national and international level through a range of partnerships and collaborations to enable the development of appropriate policies and legal frameworks for businesses and governments.

Based on our belief that the tools to tackle modern slavery lie within communities, we work with local churches to build resilience and support vulnerable groups, developing resources that help raise awareness and produce practical outcomes.

The Clewer Initiative became an independent charity in 2024. We have three aims: · to raise awareness of modern slavery and exploitation · to encourage churches and communities to take action against modern slavery · to promote victim identification, care and support.
