Tuesday 17th is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. We remember those we have lost to the ongoing violence and abuse that sex workers face ☂️ Come chat to NUM, @MASHManchester and @OurRoomMCR on 17th Dec, Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, 12 - 4pm #IDEVASW

Creative times at group, creating together chatting & laughing together . We try to create spaces where women can come as they are to chat, eat, get support if needed. Women have told us it’s important to have space just for them to be away from the normal hostel life sometimes.

Great to start the @growing.stronger.liverpool training yesterday evening with some of our fab team @Pearls_street @ourhousecommunity. Training in compassionate working with adults who experienced trauma and adversity in childhood. #compassion #relationalpractice #team @kfhenders

🗣 "It's about the early intervention we can offer young people and the community." ✅Absolutely correct Darren! It's very impactful hearing how young people living in Walton feel about the recent riots and to see, first hand, how they are helping the recovery effort. We are proud to be funding amazing initiatives like @WaltonYP through our YES Fund, so we can offer better access to new & safe opportunities for young people living in some of our more deprived areas. 👏

Do we know anyone who works for Ford ?! Please get in touch if you do and would like to help us out, we can explain more ! 🙏🏼❤️💪🏼 #community

We are recruiting new compassionate and committed volunteers to join our team so we can expand what we do and offer more safe spaces to connect for women around Liverpool.

First up is our WOMEN'S GROUP TEAM. We are so grateful to this team who help run our women's group. Offering a safe space where women are shown compassionate, non judgemental support, have a chat, laugh, food together & can get involved in some well being or creative activities.

Photo 3- "My name is Emily and I am a firefighter in Liverpool. A friend put me in touch with Streetwise and since then I've been volunteering. I enjoy talking with the women and it's nice to see the comfort they get from having a safe space to share their stories and feelings."

Photo 2- "Hi I'm Janine, Working with Streetwise is such a humbling, joyful and sometimes sad experience, working with the teams and the women and seeing the impact we have. Streetwise is an essential project and every city should have one."

Next up for #volunteersweek is our Streetwise Van Volunteers.This brilliant team give up their Fri or Sat nights to offer some safety, care and support to those who come to our van.We're so grateful to every single one of the team that makes this happen!
