The Aspirations Day Program run a women’s service drop-in on Southchurch Road. It was primarily set up to support women who sell sex, but any vulnerable woman is welcome they could be experiencing homelessness, addiction, domestic violence, SEN issues, mental health issues etc. We provide a warm, safe space, free meals, free food to take home, free clothing, assistance with paperwork, activities and social connection. This happens on a Monday and Wednesday 12 – 6pm and Thursdays are just for the women who sell sex, also 12 – 6.

We also hold 3 different “Road to Recovery” sessions for people in active addiction who are wanting to get clean.

Both of these take place at our Southchurch venue – 573 Southchurch Road, Southend-on-Sea, SS1 2PN.

And on Thursdays we hold a mixed session at our London Road venue – 134A London Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, SS1 1PQ, 12.30pm – 1.30pm
