Faith policy

Strength & Stem has a Christian ethos. Our work is motivated by God’s unconditional love, shaped by Jesus’ teachings, and inspired by the wisdom of the Spirit for the purpose of supporting female survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking as they begin to heal, gain independence, and experience true freedom.

Many of the Strength & Stem team hold a Christian faith, but this is not a requirement to work or volunteer for the charity, and it is never a requirement for the women we work with to benefit from our services. All are welcome to become part of the Strength & Stem community.

For anyone looking to work or volunteer with Strength & Stem we ask that you are sympathetic to our vision, mission and aims as we prepare female survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking for meaningful employment, using floristry as the tool. We also ask that any staff member or volunteer is respectful of faith views and is comfortable working within a faith-based organisation.

For the women with whom we work, our service is fully inclusive and non-discriminatory, maintaining respect for other world views and not passing judgement. All beneficiaries, regardless of the faith background they may or may not have, are treated equally and with wholehearted dignity and respect.
