The involvement of the Salvation Army in work to combat "slavery" and "people trafficking" can be traced back to William Booth publishing a letter in "The War Cry" in 1885. The same year an escapee from a prostitution house turned up on the door of the Salvation Army headquarters and sought help from Bramwell Booth. Work with people at risk of exploitation continues today, with a specialist team, and working in partnership with the UK service "Modern Slavery Helpline" (telephone 0800 0121 700). Work is also done assisting homeless people by running 461 hostels and 20 Refugee programmes.
