Hope
a brighter future
We are aware exploitation does not stop when a young person reaches 18, exploiters exploit due to vulnerability not ‘age’. Exploitation has been happening in Walsall for many years and still now some of those that were exploited when they were children are now still being exploited in their adult years.
Survivors can contact us through hopeproject@gmx.com in the first instance, from this we can provide email advice, telephone support, one to one support, referrals to other agencies if needed, we can support with reporting to the police if the client wishes for this to happen, support is provided with attending ABE (Achieving Best Evidence) interviews and we can support in court. Support offered is tailor made to each person.
Professionals can refer into the Hope Project with client permission this is done through the hopeproject@gmx.com email – we would ask for a brief summary of the exploitation and if they were exploited within Walsall, Name, Date of Birth, contact details, if permission has been given for the referral and best contact time. Once we have all this information we will then make contact.
