Practical Support For Young Women
City Hearts launched its Support Services in 2009 with the goal of supporting and helping vulnerable women that could not be part of the full time rehabilitation programme.
DROP IN AFTERNOON
The City Hearts Drop In Afternoon runs every Thursday from 1.30pm to 4pm at the Sheffield Megacentre and is for vulnerable women from across the city of Sheffield. This enables young women to take time out from some of the stressful situations they find themselves in. They can enjoy some refreshments, meet some friends, get pampered, be creative with the Grafitti Wall and also get relevant advice. Free Pamper Sessions include manicures, pedicures, haircuts and make-overs. One-to One advice is available covering various issues including finance, health and nutrition, legal services and parenting.

SEXUAL EXPLOITATION SERVICE
City Hearts supports the Sexual Exploitation Service in Sheffield, which is a multi agency service that works with and supports young people up to the age of 19 who are at risk of or involved in sexual exploitation. We began this with our Buy A Gift Christmas Project in 2009 and this prompted the launch of the weekly Drop In Afternoon.
For more information on the Sexual Exploitation Service please see their website:
