Women’s Work was established in 2003 and registered as an independent charity in February 2006 to provide respite, advice and support to female substance misusers involved in street sex work. Key services include delivery of street out-reach, drop-in, counselling, life skills workshops, signposting and advocacy, primarily to street sex workers in Derbyshire. Other key services include Foston Prison Outreach Support and the new Family Support service.

Since being established, Women’s Work has supported over 300 women, 95% of whom are problematic Class A drug dependants. There is a significant requirement to reduce the impact of street sex work in the community whilst improving access to drug treatment for street sex workers. This has been highlighted by local need assessment data (identified through the CSP drug team) and through the concerns of the local community – street prostitution and its associated activities locally create an atmosphere of social deprivation. We have worked closely with local neighbourhood teams to address the wider consequences of substance misuse and street sex work on the wider community.

The major development, in what is known as Phase II April 06-Dec 07, has been the opening of the Bradshaw Clinic and the partnership work with Derby Community Safety Partnership Drugs Team. This led to the launch of a dedicated Women’s Work clinical session, via which our service users could access prompt medical advice and treatment for drug dependency and sexual health issues.

Throughout the lifetime of the organisation, over 300 vulnerable and marginalised women have been supported by the project staff. 150 of these visited our drop-in centre and accessed various services offered by the project such as hot showers, food, counselling, key-working sessions, advocacy, referral and signposting advice and information. With help from Women’s Work and other partner agencies, many of these women have successfully exited street sex work.

Introduction to Women’s Work

Women’s Work – Annual Report

This year has seen many changes and challenges in Women’s Work. Our initial challenge was the uncertainty we faced with our funding from SRB coming to an end. Whilst this initially led to difficult times for the staff, with the insecurity that such a situation brings, they all rose to the challenge and “business as usual” was delivered. On behalf of the Board of Trustees I would like to thank Dionne Reid, the staff and volunteers for achieving this.

Our future is looking brighter, with an influx of fresh funding sources, particularly from the Big Lottery Fund. This has given us the opportunity to take a long hard look at our activities with a view to ensuring a robust and healthy structure from which to further develop and enhance our services to vulnerable women in Phase III of the project.

The highlight of this year has to be being named as the GlaxoSmithKline Impact Award Overall Winner 2008.

There have been changes in the management team with four new members, and Peter Purnell, our previous Chairperson, and Marianne Connolly leaving. On behalf of the Trustees I would like to thank them both for their support and hard work and wish them well for the future.

Further challenges for Women’s Work are:

Building on our strong foundations and ensuring that we attract •sufficient funding to secure our servicesBuilding partnerships and alliances that will ensure that we deliver a •focussed and holistic service to our client groupEnsuring best use of our people by providing appropriate development •opportunities.

Women’s Work is finally a place where I can go whenever I’m feeling kinda low, need a place to sit and chill for a while – especially if you’re homeless. There’s always someone there if ever I need someone to talk to – and believe me there are no favourites.All the workers are fantastic (although I do have my favourites!) This place is also helpful for searching the web for almost anything and the food is always different, so really all in all, Women’s Work is a totally needed place for all who come here, and I hope it stays so. Rachel

I’ve known Women’s Work from the beginning, they have helped me whenever they can. At times they have been the only people I can rely on. Dionne, Rachel and Lyndsey I class as friends, they have been great and I can trust them. Elaine

Since I’ve been to Women’s Work the people and staff are very helpful and friendly. Also they give a lot of good advice and information. Thank you for all your help.Sharon

Introduction to Women’s Work Chair’s Report


This has been another eventful year for Women’s Work, culminating in the receipt of a National Health IMPACT Award from GlaxoSmithKline run in association with the renowned King’s Fund in London. The organisation beat off competition from nearly 500 charities nationwide to receive the award for excellence in community health care. The judging panel marked organisations on innovation, management, partnership, achievement, community focus and targeted need.

It was fantastic news to hear that we had won and to have national recognition for our continued efforts to achieve and develop the Women’s Work services. This also gave the team a tremendous boost when morale was low.

On the day we went to London to attend one of the many consultation meetings organised by the King’s Fund as part of our prize, we also received good news from The Big Lottery Fund that our application to them had been successful and we had secured an amazing £403,000 to fund our core work until 2011.

After the initial high of such good news, reality set in and it was straight back to work to start planning for the next three years which will see the organisation expand our services to vulnerable women living outside of Derby city.

A key piece of partnership work with the Community Safety Partnership Drugs Team formally ended in December 2007. However, the 18 month project was an excellent platform and learning tool for us and the experience gained from working with our statutory partner will help to inform the future direction of Women’s Work.

Personally, it has been a particularly busy time in my role managing the operational and strategic functions of a growing organisation. However, a recent restructure allowing for the employment of a Project Co-ordinator should, in time, allow for the appropriate delegation of my time, which should then enable me to effectively lead Women’s Work through Phase III and into Phase IV.

Our Aims


foston Prison Support ServiceWomen’s Work has delivered an outreach support service at Foston Prison for the past 16 months. At present we see approximately five to seven women each week, providing them with a holistic support package prior to their release. Due to increased demand for the service, we are now in the process of extending this by mentoring another member of our staff team and a volunteer, enabling us to deliver the service to more vulnerable women in the prison. Before this service was established there were women who were being released with little or no support networks for them to access, and they would often end up returning to prison or re-establishing the damaging lifestyles they were living before going to prison. The service addresses issues such as drug treatment, housing, health and counselling to try and break the cycle and reduce the risk of re-offending.

The feedback we have received from CARARTS, Probation, Prison Officers and the Offender Management Team has been very positive and more women are now receiving support during and after their release. family Support ServiceThe Family Support Service Project was established in Jan 08, funded by The Local Network Fund for Children and young People and Small Change. The aim of the project was to deliver prevention initiatives to substance misusers and their families.

The service has enabled families which include young children to become more socially included within their communities, tackling the incidence of isolation often experienced by those coming off drugs. Women’s Work has facilitated methods of social inclusion through developing links with local playgroups, arranging parent and toddler swimming sessions, health and wellbeing workshops and educational trips to local parks. Choosing healthy options has been the theme for most of the workshops, promoting physical activity and healthy diets as well as providing opportunities to try new things and interact with others, which has helped build the self esteem and confidence of the service users.

The project will run on a smaller scale from April 2008 for a further six months. To date, 27 individuals have benefited from the project. Counselling ServiceThe service has been provided by our in-house psychotherapist for the past three years. This year, 69 counselling sessions have been delivered, averaging two hours. Currently, psychotherapy is only available to service users on a Friday via appointment and many women remain on the waiting list.

We have teamed up with Derby University to act as a placement agency to enable us to expand the counselling service. Trainee counsellors/psychotherapists in the area are given the opportunity to develop their skills

and experience by supporting the service under the supervision of external supervisors. Three volunteer counsellors have recently joined the team and we are in the process of inducting a further three. This improved facility will enable us to offer this free service to more vulnerable women across Derbyshire. Bradshaw Clinic SessionOver the past 18 months since the Bradshaw Clinic was opened, our service users have been able to access the Women’s Work clinical session on a Wednesday afternoon. The clinic offers drug treatment and sexual health interventions.

Although the formal partnership with the Drugs Team who supported this clinic has ended, the project workers have continued to work closely with the GPs and clinic staff to ensure our service users benefit from this excellent provision. The project workers continue to provide a pick up service for those who need transport to the clinic.

Women’s Work and key workers from Phoenix Futures work jointly to support all the needs of the women registered with the clinic.

Job Centre Outreach SurgeryIn January 2008, negotiations with the Job Centre at St Peter’s House in Gower Street, resulted in the establishment of a new outreach surgery on Tuesdays between 2pm and 4pm. Women’s Work staff are now based in the Job Centre offering support services to women who access the Job Centre and need additional support or counselling for substance misuse issues. We also hold a surgery at Normanton Road Job Centre between 2pm and 4pm on Fridays. Drop-in ServiceThe Drop-InWe currently hold a drop-in session on two days of the week, Monday and Thursday. The service users have access to computers, showers, hot food, drinks, donated clothing, laundry, harm reduction information and support and advice from our experienced team of project workers. The graph demonstrates a reduction in attendances at the drop-in in recent months which has led to a review of this service (see page 12). We plan to respond to this trend by replacing two drop-in sessions with new outreach/satellite sessions.

Street Outreach ServiceThe OutreachThere are currently three two-hour fixed Street Outreach Sessions. These take place between 10pm and 12am on three nights of the week.

In June 2007 one of the Women’s Work Eastern European service users came to the project to ask for a drink and condoms. Sensing she seemed distressed, a Project Worker persuaded her to have a seat and then began to determine what was upsetting the client. As the facts emerged it became disturbingly clear that she had been raped. She was asked to fill out a ‘Dodgy Punter’ form and to look at the other forms we had on file. The description of her attacker was faxed to a Divisional Intelligence Officer at the Derby Divisional Headquarters in St Mary’s Wharf.The police contacted the project and asked if the client was prepared to press charges as they already had a man in their custody who fitted the description. The client agreed to go ahead with the prosecution. A Project Worker took the client to Millfield House, where she gave a video statement, and supported her throughout the evidence gathering process. Whilst at Millfield, the client revealed her harrowing journey to the UK. After being physically and sexually abused by her father for many years, she was promised employment within the UK by a group of Albanian individuals. Unfortunately this was a lie and she was brought over to work in brothels or saunas to pay off the “debt” she owed to her traffickers. This brought her to Derby where she began street sex working to fund the drug habit she had developed in trying to come to terms with the trauma she had experienced.Women’s Work supported the client throughout this traumatic time, accompanied her to the trial in April 08, and liaised with Detectives at Peartree C.I.D. in the hope of securing a conviction of the attacker.On Friday 11th April 2008 at Derby Crown Court, the attacker was sentenced to a minimum term of nine years for charges that included attempted rape and robbery. On release from custody he will be immediately deported to his country of origin.The Peartree C.I.D. congratulated the Women’s Work team, stating that the investigation would not have been possible without their assistance and that the working relationship between the Derbyshire Police and Women’s Work has resulted in an excellent example of partnership working for the benefit of the local community They also added that Women’s Work’s willingness to help and dedication to protecting its clients, and the public in general, from a vicious and dangerous man is a credit to our organisation.

We continue to make contact with new women on the outreach every month. We also undertake what are now termed ‘Outfox Hours Sessions’ at least once a month. These have happened at 6am – 8am, 1pm – 3pm etc. The results of these are mixed in terms of the number of women we make contact with. Two additional outreach/ satellite sessions have recently started at the Job Centre in Derby City centre. We will continue to identify new venues from which we can deliver our services and access more vulnerable women.

volunteersAt present the project has 18 volunteers supporting the project workers and four volunteer counsellors who have recently started offering a weekly counselling service.

Our volunteers include:

Social Work students•Drug Workers•Mental Health Workers•Food and Nutrition Advisor•Staff Nurse.•

At present five of our volunteers are enrolled on different NVQ Level 2 courses supported by Women’s Work.

Quarterly project meetings are held to bring the team together to update volunteers with the current objectives of Women’s Work and to acknowledge achievements. This year the volunteers have contributed 718 hours to the organisation.

Women’s Work in the Community

As a part of the ongoing evaluation of the Project’s effectiveness, it was crucial to assess the perceptions and views of residents to assist us in determining the level of success of the interventions that have been delivered.

We conducted a survey focussed on the perceptions and concerns of local residents, primarily regarding the drug taking and sex-work related activities within the Normanton/Pear Tree area. Normanton Rd, Leopold St, Charnwood St, Wilmot St, Back-Sitwell St and Portland St were specifically targeted as these are currently the streets more commonly used by street sex workers.

In all, 70 people responded to the survey. Women’s Work project staff conducted door to door interviews over a period of four weeks, each interview lasting between 10 and 20 minutes. The findings were presented at a consultation event in November. Awards for All have funded another community consultation exercise for 2008.

77% had not heard of Women’s Work before the survey•91% lived or worked in the Normanton/Pear Tree area•84% were aware of drug taking and street sex work activity •in the area47% felt unsafe as a result, 41% did not feel this activity made •them feel unsafe29% felt that there had been an increase in these activities within •the last year54% felt it had stayed the same – or they had not noticed a difference•64% felt that there was not enough being done in the local area to •address the issue of street sex work93% felt that Women’s Work activity is a useful intervention, •with only 6% thinking it was not.

In December 2007, Awards for All awarded the organisation a grant to further develop this area of work and we aim to work in partnership with Derby Community Safety Neighbourhood team to see how we can best move forward with the issues raised at previous events.

I first experimented with heroin when my boyfriend was hospitalised with illnesses caused by heroin abuse. Seeing what heroin was doing to my boyfriend should have put me off for life, but it made me curious. Whilst my boyfriend was away for two months, I got depressed with just his druggie friends for company. I asked one of his mates to give me a puff and with that first puff I was hooked. My boyfriend was released from hospital but was then sent to prison for shoplifting. When he was released from prison every penny we had went on heroin; we couldn’t pay our rent and ended up living in his car.We were then both hospitalised with drug related illnesses, me with a blood clot from injecting and my partner with heart problems again. When we came out of hospital it could have been a fresh start but we both went back on the drugs.I started shoplifting to pay for my habit, stealing anything that I thought I could sell. I had already sunk so low I did not have much else to lose. When a friend suggested a street in Derby where I would get business, I was prepared to take the risk for the drugs.Within minutes I was in my first customer’s car. I tried to block out his grubby hands pawing my body and thought about the money instead. When it was over I felt so dirty that I went home and had a shower. I felt so ashamed but the flip side was I had more money than I knew what to do with.I had been a street sex worker for about a year and a heroin and crack user for 18 months when I first discovered Women’s Work through their Outreach sessions. My partner was in prison and I felt very alone and depressed and in need of support. Women’s Work provided me with somewhere to go to talk about my problems with drug abuse and street sex work.I continued to visit Women’s Work services even when my partner was released. I then fell pregnant with my daughter in 2005 and immediately started a drug treatment programme with the support of Women’s Work and my health started to improve. The staff even drove me to my antenatal appointments.The support has continued and they have helped us gain accommodation for our family and assisted in any way possible so that I can stay in treatment. I am just starting to rebuild my life after my drug addiction and can see a future for myself and my family.Gemma

GEMMA’S STORy

In five years Women’s Work has developed from a concept to a national award-winning community health organisation. It has built a sound reputation as a competent and professional agency delivering interventions to one of society’s most vulnerable and marginalised groups. Opportunities for continued growth and development exist. However they are likely to be outside of Derby City where we have traditionally delivered our services.

The key services within the organisation, as described in service delivery section of this document, all have the scope for further development, in particular the counselling service, Foston Prison Support Service and the Family Support Service.

Traditionally, the organisation has been funded as a whole which resulted in the agency being quite vulnerable as the end of a funding stream drew near. Now is the ideal time to examine options to segregate individual services within the organisation and fund them independently on a full cost recovery basis.

The core services must continue to be developed to ensure core objectives are met. However, forward planning and an increase in monitoring and evaluation of services should enable the management team to recognise changing trends in service take up and adapt accordingly.

Judges’ Comments“A quite exceptional organisation displaying flexibility that the statutory services find hard to achieve. It has solid management in place and has developed very good partnerships with the police and local residents, helping it to undertake its work more effectively and continue to reach a hidden and stigmatised section of society.

“Women’s Work is clearly having an impact on its service users with its innovative and exceptional approach to a difficult issue. They are well deserving of an award.”

The Way Forward

Well, I’ve been at Foston Hall; I don’t know what would have happened to me if it weren’t for Rachel coming in. A couple of weeks ago I went threw one of the worse times in my life – Detox’s off Meths, I felt like the staff didn’t care. Nobody helped me. I felt like ending it all. Then out of the blue last Monday, Rachel turned up. I found that talking to her and her being able to come in and see me really helped me, I mean proper.She reassured me that the way I was feeling was normal, I wasn’t going mad. I feel like I can tell her anything, a lot more than I ever could any staff member in jail.When I need things chasing up she listens and does it for me. She has helped me so many ways. Not only is she here for me in jail but once I get out I know I have a link when times are hard with Women’s Work. Without them I don’t know what would of happened to me. So it’s really important she is able to support us all. Thanks Rachel.Bee X

Women’s Work continues to be financed primarily by grants, and uncertainty around funding has presented challenges in service planning and development. The organisation found itself quite vulnerable this year when its main funding stream (the Single Regeneration Budget) came to an end, but the timely award of £403,000 from the Big Lottery Fund has ensured the continued delivery of core services until 2011 while additional grants from a number of sources have been secured to finance a range of supplementary projects.

In summary, for the year in question our income has totalled £135,000 which has funded the majority of our expenditure of £155,000, the shortfall being covered by our carry forward position from the previous year.

In common with most voluntary and charitable organisations, improving the general reserves’ position is a regular talking point with Trustees and the Board has examined the need for reasonable reserves in light of the main financial risks to the organisation. To this end it has been established that unrestricted funds equivalent to three months’ running costs, that are not committed or invested in tangible assets held by the charity, should be held as general reserves. This is in line with Charity Commission guidelines. The target over the next three years is to increase this to six months’ running costs.

The organisation has made an impressive start in achieving its reserves objective by winning the national GSK Impact Award together with £35,000. This will go a long way towards improving our financial stability over the next few years, and the Board of Trustees will review the position and develop an integrated investment, fundraising and reserve policy in the new financial year.

Once again, we would like to thank all of our funders and donors for continuing to financially support and sustain this extremely worthwhile organisation which has a vital role to play in making a difference to the lives of people in the city of Derby and beyond.
