We recently sat down with Andrew Ferris, the Program Director for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals with the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. As a large non-profit running in Canada and the US, Children’s Miracle Network supports over 70 member hospitals and partners with large organizations to raise money to benefit hospitals and the children treated at them. After taking a live event hiatus following the COVID-19 pandemic, Children’s Miracle Network began meeting in-person this year. In the Spotlight, Andrew shares the role live events play in supporting the network and how the funds raised allow them to drive their mission and have a bigger impact. Take a look at the Spotlight below to learn more about the organization, the unique ways they raise money for children, and the importance of connecting emotionally with a live event experience. #AVentProSpotlight #WinnipegEvents #ManitobaEvents #Galas #EventFundraisers #GivingBack

For World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, here are some startling #trends about #humantrafficking and #moderslavery in the UK from today's webinar with Unseen UK's Frontline and Helpline teams. ⭐⭐⭐CURRENT TRENDS IN TRAFFICKING⭐⭐⭐ ⚡ Unseen has reported a significant increase in the exploitation of #underageyouth across the U.K. Latest data shows a troubling rise in various forms of exploitation, including #domesticservitude, #criminalexploitation, and #sexualexploitation. Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline: The helpline saw a 19% increase in calls in 2023, with a total of 11,700 calls compared to 9,779 in 2022. This surge reflects a higher number of identified potential victims, particularly among underage individuals (Unseen). County Lines Exploitation: A significant number of children are being exploited through county lines operations, where criminal gangs use minors to transport and sell drugs. Unseen's #LikesToLines campaign highlights that at least 27,000 children are believed to be involved in county lines across the UK (Unseen). Forms of Exploitation: There has been a notable increase in cases of child sexual exploitation and online grooming. Reports indicate a 10% rise in child sexual exploitation crimes within the last year, with online grooming crimes increasing by 82% over the past five years (Unseen). ⚡ ⅓ of calls to Unseen are from members of the public concerned about exploitation, including: physical abuse, not being paid properly by employers (exploiters), tension with and fear of employer (potential exploiter), or living arrangements being tied to employment. ⚡ The greatest number of helpline calls are from #labour exploitation in the workforce. In 2023, for the first time, cases of exploitation were predominantly in the #CareSector. Before that it was traditionally in the #ServiceIndustry. ⭐⭐Unseen run the free, 24/7, confidential national Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline open to everyone (08000 121 700). ⭐⭐ Thank you Alice Dutton, Lauren Saunders, Natasha Mitra and Unseen's anonymous Case Worker for this important discussion! #humantrafficking #modernslavery #stoptrafficking #humanrights #WorldDayAgainstTraffickinginPersons
