Princess Eugeniehelped make the holidays a little brighter for victims of modern slavery.
The Salvation Army U.K. tweeted their thanks to Eugenie and Julia de Boinville, cofounders of theAnti-Slavery Collective, for providing safe house residents with crafts and other activities last month. The organization also shared photos of the gifts wrapped in shiny red paper.
The presents came with a note that hintedPrincess Eugenie, who is expecting her first child early this year, and Julia recently made a secret in-person visit to the center: “Thank you for welcoming Eugenie and I into our home earlier this month, and for sharing your stories so openly,” the card said. “You inspire us to keep fighting against modern slavery, and we have you in out hearts and minds every day.”
“This Christmas safe house residents were delighted to receive gifts from @TASC founders HRHPrincess Eugenie& Julia de Boinville containing crafts & other activities to help with their well-being as they stay safe and continue to recover from their experiences of #ModernSalvery,” the Salvation Army said in their tweet.
Eugenie and Julia also visited safe house residents in October for a socially distanced meeting to hear about their experiences.
In addition to her work to end modern slavery,Princess Eugeniehas volunteered with the Salvation Army throughout the coronavirus pandemic. In May, she and husband Jack Brooksbank sported matching neon yellow vests as theyorganized and packed food.
