Summary

Volunteers will support with the set-up of the evening drop in, followed by partaking in walking outreach, providing food and emergency provisions to women.

Detailed description

We run a weekly evening outreach and drop in which provides essential provisions to women subjected to on street prostitution as well as a safe and warm space for women. Kairos does a walking outreach, which creates opportunities to build trust and relationships and often is the starting point for referrals into our services. Volunteers will support with the set-up of the evening drop in, followed by partaking in walking outreach, providing food and emergency provisions to women, before returning for the evening drop-in. At drop-in, volunteers help to create a warm, friendly, safe space for women, talking and making hot drinks. Before leaving, volunteers help tidy and clean the drop in area.

Evening outreach and drop-in takes place every Wednesday evening in Hillfields, 7.30-10pm, you would be expected to attend once a month.
