Hide AdRuth Robb, Azalea CEO, said: “Sexual exploitation is a highly complex issue, and affects communities in so many ways. That is why Azalea is taking a 360 degree approach, by reaching out to women, men and children. Our new Recovery Centre will enable Azalea to do so much more, and we hope to see many people walking free from sexual exploitation through our Recovery Programmes.”
Azalea needs volunteers to help with baking cakes, making hot meals or doing admin. It is holding an open day on Thursday between 9am and 7pm, by appointment only, email [email protected] to book an appointment.
