Saffires - providing holistic support to women who sell sex in Leicester
Every woman has a story. At Saffires, we listen without judgment because every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and loved.
​
We’re a Christian charity walking alongside women who sell sex, offering support no matter their background or circumstances. With your help, we meet them where they are—on the streets or in massage parlours—with a hot drink, delicious cakes, a kind word, and vital safety information.
​
But our care doesn’t stop there.
​
We help women who sell sex to access tailored, trauma-informed support that meets both emotional and practical needs. Many receive spiritual encouragement as they journey from brokenness toward healing and wholeness.
​
Our work is made possible by the generous gifts of individuals, churches and grant-making trusts.
Together we serve women who sell sex - often in incredibly difficult and traumatic circumstances – giving them opportunities to encounter hope, safety, and real compassion.
What helped me was you guys, Saffires...just to be able to be myself and talk about everything and not feel judged

How We Make a Difference
Behind every statistic is a real woman with dreams, fears, and infinite worth. Our approach recognises the complex realities women face when selling sex, whether by circumstance, coercion, or choice.
​
We create pathways to healing by addressing immediate needs while building foundations for lasting change. Through street outreach, parlour venue visits, and online support, we reach women where they are, when they need us most.
​
Each woman's journey toward healing and hope looks different. Some seek safety resources, others need emotional support after trauma, and many simply need someone who will listen without judgment. Whatever the need, we walk alongside women in need.
​
Today we invite you to be part of this journey too, by giving or volunteering with us.
