Episode 09 of the Sheffield's Hidden Gems podcast features an interview with Lara Bundock, CEO of the Snowdrop Project Ltd, a charity founded in Sheffield to support victims and survivors of modern slavery.
Believing that no one should be left isolated or vulnerable to exploitation, support by the charity is tailored to the individual needs, strengths, likes, history and hopes of each survivor or victim of modern slavery.
In this episode, you will hear about:
*The backstory to the founding of the Snowdrop Project and why Snowdrop was chosen as the name of the charity.
*How the charity works in partnership with other organisations to provide 'wrap around' support to victims and survivors of modern slavery to motivate them to become empowered as they gain their freedom to 'live' again.
*How the charity has resourced its work over the years to expand support from 10 to 15 persons in the early years to working in 2020 with over 240 survivors (167 adults, 77 children).
*How the charity has created a workspace hub for rental to other charities in its new permanent home in Sheffield City Centre.
*Volunteering opportunities with the Snowdrop project and how to make contact for further information.
Listen to Lara Bundock, founder and CEO of the Snowdrop Project as she describes how the charity evolved over the past 10 years from an idea based on a need to break a viscious circle to a Sheffield-based charity with expanded capacity and influence beyond Sheffield City Region.
