Services
The following services are available to boys and young men up to 25 across Leeds and Bradford:
1-2-1 Support
Whether you’re 25 and involved in selling sex or whether you’re 15 and being forced into doing things you don’t want to do, the BLAST project can provide you with free, confidential 1-2-1 support in a variety of settings. Please note: the only time confidentiality would be broken is when yours or someone else’s safety and/or wellbeing is seriously at risk. Please see our confidentiality statement for further details.
Keeping Safe Advice
If you’re involved in sexual exploitation the BLAST project will work with you to ensure that you are as safe as you can be. This can include giving practical advice on how to stay safe and how to reduce the risk of danger.
Preventative Information
If you’re worried or concerned that someone might be getting you to do things you don’t want to do, the BLAST project can work with you to make sure you are aware of the risks and consequences involved and that you take steps to make sure you stay safe.
