Once your campaign is set up- you’re ready to share with friends and family―whether that’s social media, emails, Whatsapp or good old fashioned face-to-face or Zoom! Why not get creative by making a film or shooting some photos?

Top tip: tag @IJMUK on social media so that we can see what you’re doing and like or share too.

03. See Freedom

The work of IJM is only possible because of supporters like you. Every single penny you raise will go towards the fight against slavery and injustice. Thank you for being a modern day abolitionist!

Top Tip: Share stories of rescue with your supporters―show them how they’re making freedom possible.
