Ben and Debbie Cooley // Founders
Ben and Deb Cooley are the founders of Hope for Justice.
Ben is an inspiring communicator and CEO of Hope for Justice; and Debbie is a successful actress and speaker.
They started Hope For Justice after hearing about the plight of trafficked people around the world and feeling compelled to help. Ben and Debbie are passionate about provoking the church to practical action and seeing those in slavery rescued. Their heart is to inspire a generation to rise up against the injustice of human trafficking and see God restore lives that have been broken. They speak regularly across the UK sharing the vision of Hope For Justice, and their work often takes them on overseas trips to link up with anti-slavery projects working on the frontline.
