Southampton Survivor Support Project Featured in the Daily Echo

Medaille Trust’s work supporting survivors of modern slavery in Southampton has been featured in the Daily Echo, highlighting a new pilot project designed to help individuals rebuild their lives after exploitation.

The project addresses a critical gap in support following a positive decision through the National Referral Mechanism, when many survivors face the risk of homelessness and isolation. The initiative offers safe, affordable accommodation alongside specialist, trauma-informed support to help individuals transition towards independence.

The Daily Echo article draws attention to the challenges survivors face at this stage and the importance of long-term, sustainable support. Medaille Trust’s pilot aims to provide stability, dignity, and a pathway to recovery for those moving beyond immediate crisis support.

Through projects like this, Medaille Trust continues its commitment to ensuring survivors are supported not only in escaping exploitation, but also in building a safe and independent future.
