First Speaker: Richard Lodge, CEO of Chosen, High Wycombe. This is a charity that supports women who are sexually exploited or trafficked for sex. Chosen provides such women with hope for an alternative future away from control, exploitation and addiction by providing an alternative place of belonging for them. Richard has years of experience of establishing social action projects including supporting those with unsustainable personal debt, and those afflicted by street homelessness/addiction.
Richard will talk about how unconditional and consistent acts of generosity to sexually exploited women can enable them to walk free from coercion and addiction, and into new and restored community life. He will give a real-life testimony of a woman who walked free in 2025 to illustrate the effectiveness of such support.
If guests would like to donate items to Chosen please bring unopened packs of knickers in ladies small sizes 6 or 8, warm socks or basic toiletries.
Second Speaker: Beverley Jewell, Trustee of Amref, ending vaccination injustice in Africa. More information will be provided here soon….
