Christian Rock Band Delivers Child-Trafficking Petition to Downing Street

Christian rock band Replenish delivered a 30 metre-long petition wall to Downing Street last week, calling on the UK Government to take more decisive action on the issue of child trafficking.

The inked handprint 'signatures' on the wall were part of the national Stop the Traffik campaign during a World Vision and Replenish UK music tour in March and April.

Hosted by national youth speaker Mark Ritchie, each Stop the Traffik event featured a full rock set from Replenish, support from RPM (the Abundant Life youth band) as well as Sheffield-based act, 'The Gentlemen'.

2,500 concertgoers added their inked handprint to the wall to call on the UK Government to tackle child trafficking.

Ross Gill, Replenish front man said: "We went to Albania last year with World Vision and met children who had been trafficked. Seeing the effects of trafficking with our own eyes has convinced us that human trafficking is one of the greatest evils of our time.

"Having been made personally aware of what a huge issue this is, we're really pleased the tour was so successful and that we were given an opportunity to bring this to the attention of the UK public and the new UK Government".
