Do you want to invest your time supporting women who are marginalised in Tower Hamlets? Do you feel called to social justice and want to do something about it? For over 20 years we have been supporting women involved in selling sex. Many of the women credit our Door of Hope project with being key to their sense of wellbeing whilst on the streets and for some, their exit from selling sex. We are recruiting new volunteers to continue delivering consistent outreach, early Thursday morning, and late Friday evening.

We need volunteers to work with the women we support.

We are looking for women with:

• An ability to build trusting relationships whilst maintaining personal boundaries

What you can expect from us

• An opportunity to work together to see an end to sexual exploitation.
• A friendly, supportive, and experienced team.
• A positive volunteering environment, including volunteer induction and ongoing supervision
  and support.
• Free Safeguarding and outreach training
• Free Understanding survival sex training
• Free Drug & Alcohol awareness training
• Free Trauma informed training

What we ask from you
