Body Shop's Stop Child Trafficking Campaign

The Bedford branch of the Body Shop got in touch this week to ask if I would pop in and sign the petition backing the Body Shop's Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People Campaign. I was obviously only too pleased to help, and when I popped in today I found the friendly team in there all ready to get behind the campaign, with new displays set to go up later in the day. It's a very good little store, and I'm sure they'll make sure sales of the hand cream produced to raise funds for the campaign ('Soft Hands Kind Heart') go well.
