Focus on Modern Slavery!

Bryn Frere-Smith – Founder of Blue Bear Coffee Co. In this episode, Debbie Huxton - Modern Slavery Campaigner for Transforming Communities Together, with Lichfield Diocese Mothers' Union and the Clewer Initiative talks to Bryn about his anti-slavery work and his passion for justice and eradicating modern slavery and exploitation. Bryn is an ex Police Officer who left the force in 2014 to pursue a career in private security. After four years of working as a bodyguard for a number of high-profile clients, he took a sabbatical to volunteer for a human rights agency investigating the trafficking of children in the Dominican Republic. His experience investigating human trafficking led him to start an ethical business designed to support coffee growing communities, whilst using its profits to support organisations fighting human trafficking and caring for survivors.
