‘Team work makes the dream work’, ‘alone we can do a little,
together we can do much’ - it is this very team spirit that enables
organisations such as A Way Out to strive towards our aim; - to engage,
empower and equip vulnerable and excluded women, families and young people to
live lives free from harm, abuse and exploitation and to reduce life limiting
choices and behaviour.
An issue faced by the women engaged with our Liberty and
Blossom service is that of ISOLATION. These women have had their trust in
others stripped away as a result of their experiences of abuse and
exploitation. They can feel alone with a loss of strength and can
struggle to find a vision of hope for their future. Isolation can also be
an issue for some of the young people we support through our Youth &
Families Services.
A Way Out’s staff team , supported by our team of dedicated
volunteers, work to deliver our aim through evening outreach, daytime drop-ins
and group sessions – together in unity we enable life changing things to
happen. This teamwork enables and encourages our clients to rebuild their
trust in others, to build up their own strength and to see their own positive
life vision.
We are currently striving to recruit more volunteers for our
Youth and Blossom Services if you or anyone you know of anyone who may be
interested please ask that they get in touch with us or go to our website and
download an application form. All it takes to join our teams is a quick interview,
4 short training sessions and a DBS check!
Easter is fast approaching too and we will be collecting
chocolate Easter Eggs to present to our clients - it would be great if you
would consider donating an egg or two!!
