On Tuesday (28th May) Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, attended a live police operation to see those support workers in action as they help the police initiate a safeguarding intervention for a local sex worker.

Mrs Bourne has funded Streetlight for a number of years through her Community Safety Fund and now supports them through her Safe Space Sussex Funding Network. She has recently uplifted their funding by £13,000 to increase the number of support workers they employ to help those wanting to exit prostitution.
