The more voices of solidarity we have, the stronger our message will be and the sooner we can approach the council to make a pledge to relocate refugees from overcrowded camps. Please help campaign to send a message to that York acts with humanity, York is inclusive, and that refugees are welcome here!

Hey everyone, just a reminder that we are holding our elections!

Modern Slavery is an issue that is likely to expand as the world we live in grows in pace and innovation. It is often hidden and ignored but prevalent at the root of a lot of what we invest in. We hope that University of York students realise the impact you can make from participating in an anti-slavery organisation.

This year alone, we have published a report about slavery on York’s high street; spread awareness through our collaborative podcast series with York City Council and North Yorkshire Police; and created and hosted Fairtrade and slow fashion events that have raised funds for our partner, Unseen UK. Being part of York Anti-Trafficking Society is a great way to gain experience in the charity sector and network with NGOs, as well as furthering this important and necessary work!
