SHEFFIELD WORKING WOMEN'S OPPORTUNITIES PROJECT
We provide specialist outreach service to an extremely socially isolated and vulnerable group of women - street sex workers. Our aim is to support our clients to look after themselves, access mainstream services and lead normal lives. A contribution to the provision of healthcare is fundamentally at the core of our work. We also support women whilst in Newhall prison and also upon their release.
