What Do We Take With Us on Outreach?

When we go out too meet women on-street, our outreach volunteers and staff bring backpacks with them. This is so that, alongside raising awareness of available survives, we can distribute useful items to women, and ultimately let women know that they’re not alone.

So, what’s in our outreach backpacks?

✅ Pot noodles/instant porridge (something warm to eat)
✅ Referral forms, our drop-in times and contact details
✅ Sexual health packs (condoms etc.)
✅ Chocolate / biscuits (no explanation needed!)
✅ Harm reduction kits
✅ Naxolone (an antidote to opioid overdose)
✅ Flasks to serve hot drinks, and paper cups
✅ We also provide period products, and personal hygiene items
❄️ In the winter we bring warm hats/gloves
