A few years ago our friends made this wonderful film about us - here's another chance to watch it

The video is extremely moving

This poignant and beautifully produced short film sums up everything the New Futures Project stands for.

It was created a few years ago by staff and students at Leicester's De Montfort University, (DMU).

They told us they wanted to amplify the voices of our clients who were involved in street-based sex work.

They did those women proud and we were delighted with the film, which also featured an interview with a member of our outreach team.

The interviews - in which the women spoke candidly about the harsh realities of their day to day lives - were played over a series of compelling images of the streets where they were working.

We've not publicised it for some time, so we decided the time was right to give it a fresh public airing approximately 10 years on since its creation.

Our director Della Kagure Brown said: "I’ve always believed the film is a perfect representation of who we are and what we do.

"Whenever I watch it I’m so proud of what the women involved have gone on to achieve.

"The filmmaker was so talented and captured the essence of the project perfectly."

We were able to fund the film thanks to DMU, Women In Philanthropy and the Leicestershire and Rutland Community Foundation.

We would like to thank them again for their support.

The New Futures Project offers a comprehensive welfare and counselling service for women and young people dealing with sexual abuse or exploitation, domestic violence, trafficking, poverty and debt, substance use or mental ill-health.
