City Hearts is a charity that houses and helps both women with life controlling issues and victims of human trafficking in the UK, and runs education programmes in Ghana, Africa. == History == City Hearts was founded by Jenny Gilpin〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12672009〕〔http://www.premierradio.org.uk/listen/ondemand.aspx?mediaid=%7BEBF37871-543E-4D95-A067-D0060B444B54%7D〕 in 2005. Jenny moved from Brisbane Australia with her husband Dave Gilpin in 1991〔http://www.re-vived.com/index.php?main_page=artist_info&aID=697〕 to start 'Hope City Church' (previous known as 'The Hope of Sheffield Christian Church) She aimed to offer support and accommodation for vulnerable women who presented with life controlling issues, such as eating disorders, alcohol addiction, self-harm, substance misuse, depression and unplanned pregnancy.〔'I was the result of a gang rape,' Woman's Own, Feb 20th 2012〕 This was initially a 24/7 Recovery Program. In 2008, City Hearts began also housing and supporting women who had been rescued from human trafficking.〔http://www.city-hearts.co.uk/restore/〕 In 2010, the first City Hearts Safe House for women was opened. In 2011, City Hearts became part of the national provision for helping victims rescued from trafficking situations in the UK. This was followed by a Safe House for men in 2011 and one for families in 2012.〔http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/uki/traffickingreview〕〔http://www.city-hearts.co.uk/anti-trafficking/〕〔http://www.veritamag.com/2013/04/07/grooming-in-south-yorkshire/〕 City Hearts International was launched in Accra, Ghana in 2012. Still in its early stages, this began with running a homework club and educational academy, aimed at giving vulnerable children a safe place to study and the motivation to stay in education.〔http://www.city-hearts.co.uk/international/ 〕 In April 2012, the Recovery Program closed and a smaller, semi supported unit called 'City Hearts Housing' was opened. This offers accommodation and optional support packages, through the 'Restore Program' to vulnerable women. In 2013, City Hearts was awarded funding from the Victim Care Fund to pilot a year long Reintegration Support Program (RSP), aimed at supporting the ongoing needs of those who have gone through the National Referral Mechanism (NRM). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City Hearts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
