As we draw nearer to Christmas, we are reminded of

As we draw nearer to Christmas, we are reminded of God's generosity to us and the gift of Jesus. We are grateful this year to have experienced meaningful engagement with the women we meet in the strip clubs, parlours and on the street and are making a real difference. We couldn't do any of this without your support.
We appreciate our regular givers, fundraisers and grant funders this year, but we currently face a shortfall of £6,500 to meet before the year comes to an end. Please would you consider a one-off gift this Christmas?

We are delighted to announce that Emily is partner

We are delighted to announce that Emily is partnering with Amber, specifically working with our strip club team Eden. Emily is an experienced, specialist Relationship Counsellor, having trained with and worked for the National relationship counselling organisation, Relate, for 8 years.Emily was delighted to have the opportunity to join Amber as a volunteer club chaplain where she has had the privilege of being so warmly welcomed into the clubs. Following numerous conversations with various women, it quickly became apparent that the benefit of delivering a relationship counselling service within the 3 strip clubs in Southampton could be hugely helpful for the dancers working there. As such, Emily is absolutely thrilled to have officially partnered with Amber to provide this service. Emily is so passionate about helping to support women and their wellbeing, so is incredibly excited to be part of this amazing collaboration.In addition to loving her professional life, Emily can mostly be found having huge amounts of fun in the countryside with her gorgeous little toddler (and spaniel!) @sp_relationshipcounselling

The occurrence of ‘Sex for Rent’ is currently

The occurrence of ‘Sex for Rent’ is currently trending in the news and on social media. The dominant narrative around this is of formal landlord-tenant relationships, but we want to draw attention to the fact that sexual exploitation around housing and accommodation occurs in many different ways.'Sex for rent' is not an isolated form of abuse, and we believe it needs to be set within the wider context of violence against women and girls, and a national housing crisis to be properly addressed.

We were saddened to hear that one of the ladies we have seen regularly on the streets over a number of years died this month. We think of her partner, family and friends at this time and ask for comfort at this time. It was such a pleasure to get to know her and provide her with some support.
