Government support is provided for a short period which is often not long enough for a survivor to recover. We specialise in addressing the current gap in long-term support for survivors of human trafficking in the UK.
“When I first came here... I had many problems, so I was allocated a casewoker who would be dealing with my issues, and only thanks to them, today everything is in order.”

Here at Snowdrop, we recognise that the journey to recovery is different for each person and varies from months to years. We believe that every person should have the support services they need during this time to provide a pathway to independence and restore their agency and dignity.
