BASNET - The UK BME Anti-Slavery Network held its second residential capacity-building programme for UK Black and Ethnic anti-trafficking innovators in Manchester from 21 to 23 May 2024. 14 participants who are founders and CEOs of charities, Community Interest Companies or Community Interest Organisations gained new and essential organisational skills to enable them effectively address modern slavery issues within their communities.

This important programme was delivered with funding from Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.

This year, we were delighted to extend participation to a BASNET Associate member in Nigeria, Betty Abah from CEEHOPE. This enabled us to explore the potential to expand the capacity building residential programme outside the UK to help meet the needs of anti-trafficking organisations in other countries.
