Our story.

Empowering women in Leicester

Here at The New Futures Project we work with Women and Young People in the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland area; who are at risk of or who are being sexually exploited. We have extended our services to provide support to women made particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation, coercion or abuse.

We want to use the experience and learning we have gained from over twenty years of working with this client group to instigate and support generational change, supporting women to break the cycle of abuse, exploitation, poverty and marginalisation which in many cases has been present within families for multiple generations.
