On the 5th of November Margaret Mullane PPC had the pleasure of attending “Don’t Get Finessed” by Elevate Her UK.
Elevate Her UK is a non-profit organisation that mainly provides support to vulnerable teenage girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Their services include:
One to one/group mentoring
Skill based empowerment workshops
Outreach sessions
Youth safety awareness
“Don’t Get Finessed” is a campaign run by Elevate Her UK to raise awareness and safeguard young people from financial exploitation as well as influencing policy changes.
Young people are targeted via social media whether that be snapchat, facebook, Instagram or through online gaming. It can also occur in person. Often, people do not realise they have been financially exploited until it is too late.
The documentary by Elevate Her UK explains how easy it is to be financially exploited or to become a financial “mule”. You can view the documentary here: https://youtu.be/vommRXxF5A8?si=AX5JRwFpG6r9Fn9_
Margaret Mullane PPC: “I have always been in awe of the work undertaken by Ebony King and all of Elevate Her UK. They give so much back to the community and really prioritise our young people, who are the future of this country. I believe Ebony will go very far and as I alluded to on the night, they will always have my full support.”
