The leaflet also draws attention to the work that the Churches continue to undertake to combat modern forms of slavery." Copies of the leaflet can be obtained from Tom Moyes, ACTS' Network Officer. The leaflets are free but it may be necessary to charge for post and packing. You can also download a pdf copy of the leaflet by clinking here or on the image.
