We are a specialist charity working to raise awareness of, challenge, and ultimately change the structural inequalities and societal norms that compel women to sell sex.
We formed over 20 years ago, in response to the urgent need for holistic and specialist support. We facilitated collaborative working and supported the growth of a small number of grassroot projects that grew into a national network of affiliate members.
Today, we are a recognised leading expert. We engage with, influence, train, and guide organisational bodies at local and national level. We work with experienced practitioners, affiliate members, and those with lived experience to produce research & resources, provide training & consultancy, and respond to national strategy & policy.
As providers of local and national frontline services, we have an in-depth understanding of the complexities faced by women selling sex, the underlying drivers of involvement, and multiple barriers to support.
Increasing impact
Working with womenWe know that partnering and journeying with women is the most effective approach and this is the practice model we use today. Women need to be respected and empowered to identify their own needs and devise their own strategies.
Our Christian values determine how we treat others: with respect, dignity, love and a non-judgemental attitude. As a charity we are seeking to enable those exploited by prostitution to find routes out, and look to work with those of all faiths or none to achieve this.
We rely primarily on funding from trusts and foundations, alongside donations from the public and other supporters, to sustain and grow our work. This income enables us to support every woman who is referred or self-refers into our services, and to continue our wider work to bring about systemic change.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports us – trusts and foundations, statutory bodies, corporate partners, community organisations, and individual donors. Some of our trust and foundation supporters are listed below. This is not a full list and includes neither all multi-year grant partners nor the many smaller, but equally vital, contributions we receive. We are incredibly grateful for the impact that all of this support makes possible.
Without this support, we would not be able to continue our work or move closer to a society where no woman is compelled to sell sex. We never take for granted the trust placed in us through every donation, contract, and grant, and remain committed to delivering our work with care and excellence.
We are committed to being transparent and accountable in how we are funded and how we use the resources entrusted to us. You can read more about our funding and finances here. If you have any questions, please get in touch via this Link to speak with a member of our Fundraising Team.
