'Fake News'

'Fake News' is a phrase that many of us have become familiar with - news with no basis in fact, created for dramatic effect - the direct opposite of truth.

'Fake News' is so much a part of our current lives that it could cause us to question all incoming information - looking for assurity - searching for information and evidence to endorse it as TRUTH.


TRUTH is valued at A Way Out - information received on a daily basis, based on truth, shapes every aspect of the organisation.

The biblical verse, John 8:32, states that 'the truth will set you free' and the hope of lived lived in freedom from addiction, poverty, homelessness and exploitation is the very driving force of A Way Out.  Our tag line Love, Hope, Freedom encompasses the very nature of our ethos which is based upon Christian values.

In our daily contact with clients, fake news is not something that we come across.  The hard truths of poverty, homelessness, exploitation and addictions are very real.  The realities that we see every day shape our services and assist in developing interventions and prevention for vulnerable women and young people in our area.  Learning from these facts also influence A Way Out's service development in our work with young people and families to guide and steer all towards brighter futures.

It is important, also, to recognise the truth that A Way Out cannot do this alone.  The organisation's dedicated and skilled staff are supported by a committed and faithful team of trained and highly valued volunteers.  Supporters can help to provide additional provisions such as food parcels, toiletries and other essential items that are part of the truth behind the needs of lives experiencing hardship.  Our regular monthly givers are immensely valued and vital to our daily support to clients.

There are always opportunities to support A Way Out, visit our website for more information.
