The Bristol Mothers’ Union marked Anti-Slavery Day by creating a giant crochet chain of 951 links to represent the 951 potential victims of modern slavery in Bristol. The chain was first shown at the Bristol Cathedral Anti-Slavery Service on 17 October. Here it is outside the Church of the Good Shepherd, Redlands. Many other Mothers' Union branches across the country including Oxford, Cornwall, Manchester, Portsmouth, Chester and Leicester have followed Bristol’s lead and created chains to represent the victims in their regions.
