Medaille Trust

Who we are

Medaille Trust supports and empowers survivors of modern slavery, trafficking and exploitation. We do this in a number of ways, from offering safe accommodation, to offering support both in our safehouses and out in the community on our Moving on Projects. Our work also includes advocacy and awareness raising in the UK, and prevention and advocacy in Albania. All our work embodies a commitment to personalised support, recognising the dignity and agency of our service users and empowering them on a path to a life that is free from slavery and exploitation.

Our culture and values

Medaille Trust is a client-focused charity that equips victims of modern slavery to become survivors. 

We will act with:

Respect - Embracing the diversity and human dignity of our team and our clients, we will treat everyone with respect both inside and outside our organisation. 

Collaboration - Recognising that combating modern slavery is not something we can do alone, we will work in partnership with organsiations and individuals that share our ainms and values. 

Compassion - Understanding that modern slavery is deeply traumatic, we will demonstrate an awareness of, and a sensitivity towards, colleagues and clients at all times. 

Empowerment - Equipping clients and staff to develop their lives and careers, we will ensure appropriate support and frameworks are in place to faciliate this. 

Passion - Fostering a drive and determination to eradicate modern slavery, we will approach our work with deep care and commitment. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Vision is that the Medaille Family is an Inclusive Community in which every participant feels respected, valued, trusted, safe, has a sense of belonging and can be their best self and do their best work for the benefit of society. 

We will create and maintain inclusive communities in which the diversity and unique contributions of our staff, trustees and volunteers are recognised and valued and facilitated. Communities in which every employee, Trustee, volunteer or self-employed contractor is treated with dignity and respect, and in which any negative treatment, including intimidation, bullying or harassment will be challenged.
