Ideas for
Taking Action
DIY Party
Are you getting married? Having a house warming, graduation party, birthday party or a party just because?
In lieu of gifts, you can set up a wishing well at your party and collect donations for the Freedom Partnership”s Freedom Fund.
Morning Tea at Work
Having a morning tea can be a great way to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking.
You can also promote the purchase of Fairtrade goods such as tea, coffee and chocolate by having these are your morning tea treats!
Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser
A sausage sizzle is loved by everyone! Your local butcher may give you a special price on their most popular sausages, and your local bakery may wish to chip in with some freshly sliced loaves of bread. Onions and tomato sauce are the other must haves!
Gold Coin Donation at School
Approach your teacher or principal and arrange for a gold coin donation day at your school!
You can share information in your school newsletter and use the resources sent to you to raise awareness about modern slavery in your school community.
Become a Fairtrade Workplace
Becoming a Fair Trade Workplace is really easy and can be done in 3 simple steps! By purchasing Fair Trade products you are ensuring that producers are paid a fair price for their goods and labour, safeguarding them from slavery.
Visit: http://fairtrade.com.au/page/fairtrade- workplaces where detailed guidelines will step you through the process.
Send us an email at endslavery@aue.salvationarmy.org to let us know when you are certified so we can celebrate your actions to end slavery in Australia
Community club awareness or fundraising event
Make the focus of your next meeting Modern Slavery. A training toolkit and presentation can be supplied by The Freedom Partnership. After learning, it may spark some more ideas about how your club can be involved in taking action!
Start a university/campus Freedom Club
Raising awareness of modern slavery on your campus can be as simple as handing out small business sized cards or flyers. You can also start a group that works more regularly to host fundraising events, awareness raising events or film screenings.
You might also be interested in supporting vulnerable people in the campus community and The Freedom Partnership can discuss with you further ways you can do this.
