Our Mission Statement...

We exist to... break the cycle of exploitation,  empowering individuals to rebuild their lives and embrace a hope filled future.

... and our Vision Statement

We want to see... people living free from exploitation as a result of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery.

Our Values

​Rebuild East Midlands started in 2017 in response to the increasing number of individuals identified as living in Derby who had experienced human trafficking and modern slavery, and were not receiving the support they needed to recover and rebuild their lives. 
We are future focussed 
Together with our staff, volunteers we want to be mindful of the past and how it impacts the present but we want to help people move forward by focussing on the future 
 ​
We are consistent  
As  a long term support provider we want to be consistent in our approach to support and partnering with individuals 
 
We promote empowerment  
We work with individuals to redress the power imbalance that exploitation creates. We want to partner with those we work with to shape their own support, to develop resilience and support the choices and decisions they make themselves. We take a position of learning from those with lived experience to inform what we do. 
​

We focus on the individual  
Valuing every individual and their uniqueness, we seek to understand, respect and embrace the backgrounds and experiences of every individual.
 
We are flexible  
We are constantly evolving, thinking creatively, seeing potential and embracing a flexible approach to all aspects of our work.
