Supporting women who are sexually exploited; working with them to break free from the cycles of abuse, poverty, and addiction

What we do

We offer practical support, signposting and a listening ear. So that we can encourage opportunities for positive change for those affected by sexual exploitation, including street prostitution, in Reading.

Our service values each client’s individuality, adopting a holistic approach, and supporting them in all aspects of their lives to help facilitate the best possible outcome. We achieve this by actively reaching out to this hard-to-reach and vulnerable client group, through night outreach. Read more
