SARAH - Support Advice Recovery And Healing
SARAH has one main aim: To break the chains of slavery amongst women in the UK through support, advice, recovery and Healing.
But what do we mean when we say "Slavery"?
A dictionary definition of slavery is this "a person entirely under the domination of some influence or person".
In the UK, women are finding themselves trapped in situations and lifestyles that they are unable to escape from. "Entirely under domination".
For the SARAH project, we recognise this to be the following:
- Sexual exploitation and prostitution (inlcuding those who have been trafficked)
- Alcohol and drug addiction
- Eating disorders
- Self harm
Our project aims to bring freedom to young women trapped in these situations through support, advice, recovery and healing.
Our work involves:
- Street and community based outreach
- Road shows offering information and awareness
- Prevention and support
- Structured recovery and healing programmes
- Supported referals and signposting

Vulnerable Boys and Young Men's Prevention Project
Our prevention project has one aim of improving health and well being of vulnerable boys and young men.
