Volunteering for Freedom

MFA Zaman explains how his legal arrival in the UK from Bangladesh turned sour and why friendships and voluntary work in London helped him escape modern slavery.

As a young man, Mohammed, AKA MFA Zaman, arrived in Britain from Bangladesh with a working visa, a patron and a job lined up as a chef. On arrival though, the promises of a bright future turned to ashes when he became a victim of modern slavery. But at this lowest of low ebbs in his life, Mohammed decided that he needed to do something - and that something was to volunteer at an old people's community club in Lewisham, near where he was living.

Mohammed tells Dr Sian Williams how this life-changing decision helped him to find freedom.
