This training will be run by the Rahab project, which is part of local charity The Mustard Tree, and has been supporting sex workers in Reading for nearly 20 years. Our teams of volunteers go out to the areas the women are working three or four nights a week and we also offer daytime outreach. The trainers, Katherine Shepherd CEO of Mustard Tree and Jackie Jackson Programme Manager, will be drawing from their experience and will facilitate discussion to provide a practical and informative training session that will leave you feeling more confident and equipped to support this at risk group.
