Our Mission

A Way Out’s is an organisation of excellence, tackling and preventing exploitation of vulnerability of women and young people.

We are an outreach and prevention charity which aims to engage, empower and equip vulnerable and excluded women, families and young people to live lives free from harm, abuse and exploitation and to reduce life limiting choices and behaviour.

Our service users include women and young people with substance misuse problems, involved with sex work, homeless or living on the streets, often engaged in offending or victims of abuse.

A Way Out is based in Stockton on Tees at a support centre called The Gate. This centre provides the base for many of our projects, offering a safe and secure place for women to come and receive support and get involved in a whole range of activities.
