Ride For Freedom takes a 360-degree approach within the context of global modern slavery, by harnessing the universal appeal and power of cycling to advocate, educate and collaborate to end the heinous crime and to remediate to survivors and engage multiple stakeholders to create a comprehensive and effective response. Survivor Empowerment Ride For Freedom's Freewheel Empowerment Programme focuses on empowering survivors of modern slavery by providing them with bicycles, accessories, and cycling training. This approach addresses the immediate needs of survivors, offering them tangible tools for mobility, independence, and physical well-being.Preventative EducationThe Schools Prevention Programme targets children in East London, educating them about modern slavery prevention. By raising awareness and equipping young minds with the knowledge to identify and respond to signs of modern slavery, Ride For Freedom contributes to breaking the cycle of exploitation and vulnerability.Community EngagementThrough collaborative efforts within the communities of Barking and Dagenham and the West Midlands, Ride For Freedom fosters a sense of solidarity and collective responsibility in addressing modern slavery. By involving schools, local organisations, and residents, the programme creates a supportive environment for survivors and a vigilant community against exploitation.Advocacy and PolicyRide For Freedom's initiatives serve as a platform for advocacy and policy dialogue on modern slavery at both local and global levels. By sharing insights, best practices, and success stories, the programme contributes to shape policies and interventions aimed at combating modern slavery worldwide.Research and EvaluationContinuous monitoring, evaluation, and research are integral components of Ride For Freedom's approach. By assessing the impact of their programmes on survivors, children, and the community, Ride For Freedom gathers valuable data to inform future interventions and contribute to evidence-based practices in the global fight against modern slavery.
Ride For Freedom’s stakeholders include survivors of modern slavery who benefit from our Freewheel Programme, and school children who are educated through our Schools Programme.The pilot Schools Programme successfully reached a total of 3,006 primary school pupils across six schools in East London.On the initial visit to each school, it was established that only 6% of the pupils and 64% of the teachers had heard about modern slavery.One of the schools was visited for a second time, and an impressive 46% of pupils demonstrated improved knowledge in identifying warning signs of exploitation and 96% awareness among the teachers.Enabling Key Stage 2 pupils to ride static bikes generated enthusiastic participation with 1,886 children taking part.22% of those who cycled had not previously had any experience of cycling which demonstrates the programme’s physical activity and health benefits.Headteachers and teachers completed a survey that received an overall satisfaction rate of 91%. 100% had their expectation met or exceeded; 81% would recommend the programme to others.Consultation with stakeholders identified that the learnings of years 1 and 2, during assemblies, were not as stark as the older year groups. Accordingly, we revised the programme for the younger years to undertake activities in the classroom where supervision is more at hand. The Freewheel Programme successfully reached 34 survivors of modern slavery, with 17 completing the cycling training, in East London, at a 'London pop up' and the West Midlands.13 participants expressed improvements across their lives. 18% improvement in participants’ lives across three categories. 9% improvement in participants’ cycling ability. 2.5% improvement in participants’ physical health. 6.5% improvement in participants’ mental health.Consultation with stakeholders identified that asking service users to travel extensively to attend a session in an area of London distant from where they reside was a barrier to participation. In response we ran a 'London pop up' i.e. we took the session to them.
