  • For these polarized days…

    At Love146, we have been very deliberate in creating what we call a “big table”. We recognize that people come into the movement to end child trafficking carrying their own opinions and agendas on a ton of different issues. That can create tension, but more often than not, we are inspired by the mix of people willing to join us at the table.

  • Calm in the Chaos

    Earlier this year in the Philippines, we gathered the children in our Survivor Care and evacuated to remain safe from the eruption of a nearby volcano. Now, because of COVID-19, we’re sheltering in place in our safe homes. 2020 has been difficult because one of the most important things for children recovering from trauma is stability.

    We’re inspired by the legacy of former teacher and guidance counselor Ann Hardiman, who passed away last year. She wanted her life savings to go to helping people, and the Ann T. Hardiman Fund has generously provided a matching grant this holiday season to honor Ann’s legacy of caring for and inspiring children.

  • Facebook’s “Privacy-Focused” Future Won’t Do Enough to Protect Children

    Facebook has a long history of taking a vocal and ardent stance against child sexual exploitation, yet it continues to be one of the most popular platforms traffickers use to groom and recruit the youth we serve. Still, Facebook knows and encourages children to use its platform, and does nothing to further protect the privacy of the children who use it. But there is one tweak they can make that will actually help address the problem.

  • Will Robert Kraft’s arrest send a powerful message? We’ll see.

    Earlier this year, police say New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft was filmed receiving sexual services at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida. I think a year from now, Kraft will be filmed sitting in his box seats at the Superbowl, as though nothing happened. I have a hunch that next year, my family will be watching the NFL championships again – and just like this year, Kraft will be up there in the box clapping. He’ll probably pay criminal fines that amount to what he might pay for a few nice bottles of wine; another expense in a luxury budget.

  • As the Red “X” fades, our (collective) resolve will not

    Every February, many of us from all over the world participate in the @enditmovement’s annual campaign to “Shine a Light on Slavery.” Depending on what you used to draw a red X on your hand (symbolizing your commitment to the movement), it will either fade rapidly or over time. No matter what, it WILL fade.

  • Seeing the full picture: The right training can change everything

    A recent report from from the UK has everyone talking. On the surface, the news is disheartening. The number of British national children referred through the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) has gone up by an astonishing 66 percent since 2016. In fact, the new numbers don’t point to an actual surge, but a noticeable change in practice of frontline staff who have received better NRM training and are now able to identify these children.

  • The Gift of Home

    In the UK more than a third of all trafficking victims are children. Many were brought here with false promises, threats, and abuse. Because it’s not an easily visible crime, it’s a bit hard to believe — that such a progressive and generous nation could still hold so many children in modern slavery. But it’s true. These young people are all around us: working in your local nail bar, at the carwash on the corner, as domestic servants, or forced to grow and sell drugs. The truth is, if they are invisible, it is because we have not taken the trouble to see them.

  • Conquering Rain, Potholes & Mountains for Children

    A group of four ambitious bike riders traversed the French countryside on a fundraising tour for Love146. Their grit and determination reminds us that childhood is not the only time to which these kinds of adventures should be confined, inspiring us to dust off our bikes and relive our childhoods so that trafficked children may yet have an opportunity to live theirs.

Business meets Social Justice!

We welcome businesses seeking to support Love146, a charity with international coverage, unique expertise in its field and links to local communities throughout Europe.Throughout our partnership, we work with you to understand your business needs, make clear how we think we could add value, and chart an agreed pathway ahead.

There are a number of ways through which we can create a partnership:

  • Support for specific activity, be it sharing your expertise or making a clear-cut financial donation.
  • Payroll giving, enabling donations to Love146 directly from salaries. This is a highly tax-efficient way of supporting us, costing individual donors less (because the donation is made before tax) and allowing us to receive more. Many companies run payroll giving schemes.
  • Challenge events, through which staff morale can be enhanced around a shared goal and positive outcome of supporting children exploited in the UK and Europe.
  • Cause-related marketing forming a partnership with each through providing resources and funding, whilst at the same time addressing important Love146 business objectives.

Please email info@love146.org.uk us for more information.
