Human Trafficking Foundation

Emergency Support Fund

Small one-off grants of up to £200 for survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery, to meet immediate needs when no other funding is available. Survivors cannot apply themselves: a support worker or supporting organisation in the UK applies on their behalf, and the money is paid to that organisation to buy the item. Needs that the Salvation Army's Survivor Support Fund can meet are not covered except in exceptional circumstances.

Who can apply

  • Survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery, through a support worker or a UK organisation providing them with support or advice, which applies on their behalf and receives the grant into its bank account to make the purchase
  • If the survivor is receiving support under the NRM (National Referral Mechanism) Care Contract, an application must first be made to The Salvation Army's Survivor Support Fund
  • The application must show what effort has been made to secure funding from other sources

How to apply

  1. If the survivor is supported under the NRM Care Contract, apply first to The Salvation Army's Survivor Support Fund
