A Way Out celebrated the outcome of a successful grant application. This specific funding supports our Blossom
Service created from feedback and ideas shared by clients of our established and
successful Liberty Service. Whilst grateful for the intensive and highly
effective support we provide, these women shared a wish to have met A Way Out
much earlier in their lives – BEFORE circumstances led to exploitation,
destructive addictions and a chaotic existence…
Our Blossom
service, born from these wishes, supports and advocates for today’s vulnerable
and at risk younger women in our local area. Blossom provides intervention and prevention
support in their young lives NOW.
Our Blossom
staff are a hard working team, dedicated to enabling and empowering young women
to make real and lasting changes for a positive future. We work alongside young women ensuring that
they are not facing challenges alone, we share in their progress – celebrate
with them in their victories and encourage them through disappointments. Blossom is supported by trained volunteers
who generously share their time to help facilitate our drop-in activities and
outreach sessions.
Today we are
celebrating another answer to prayer – a need uncovered by our intensive work
with this younger group of women. Young,
lonely, isolated and vulnerable women with disabilities can be at particular
risk of exploitation, however, thanks to the generous support of a local foundation
we are now be able to offer these particular young women skilled, specialist
one to one support as part of our Blossom service.
We are
currently recruiting to this specialist post
– take a look at our website for further
details and where you will also find information about other ways you can
support the work of A Way Out.
