Summary

It is important in this summary, that I mention my own origins, and thus my heartfelt desire to make a difference in this field. I was born a baby of a gang rape, and adopted as a baby. I was brought up in a Christian home and went into the ministry and eventually to the UK.

In establishing City Hearts in the Uk, my desire was to help, but the favour of God fell on the organisation. I was approached by the South Yorkshire police to help them, and the organisation grew from there.

Perhaps the most poignant day, was seeing in a drop in, 35 prams sitting in the foyer. These prams represented the babies of the trafficking victims whose lives we had actually saved.

Many of the survivors were rescued and many came to a great faith.

It is my hearts desire to continue this work now I am back in my homeland.

My biggest skill set is leadership, and also an innate understanding of people.

I am very well connected in Australia, knowing personally the leaders of three major denominations, and also a number of Christian Philanthropists. These funders desire to sow finance into organisations that are Christian based and who's ethos is strong.

In addition, I am a strong public speaker, and have spoken in churches across Australia and across the world.

Work History

City Hearts Global

  • I founded City Hearts from scratch in 2004 and grew it to be a charity with 170 full and part time staff.
  • The charity was sub contracted to the UK government under The Salvation army, and operated 14 homes in which we cared for men, women and children who had been trafficked . These were rescued under the Uk government national referral mechanism.
  • The charity was instrumental in writing the UK government victim care strategy, and introduced the importance of faith to the recovery of survivors.
  • This law was altered and adopted by the NSW government.
  • Developed after care contracts and also links with large organisations such as The Body Shop and John Lewis stores to give employment to survivors.
  • Developed a larger than UK strategy and expanded work into Accra Ghana, The Netherlands and Scotland.
  • The organisation was asked into numerous London embassies to alert staff to trafficking and to victim care.
  • Invited to 10 Downing Street to meet the Prime Minister on two occasions, highlighting anti trafficking and its prevalence.

City Hearts worked with the Uk Government and handled multi million pound budgets.
