Welcome to the BLAST Project website!
The BLAST Project is one of few projects in the country and the only project in Yorkshire that supports and works with ONLY boys and young men who are being, or are at risk of being, sexually exploited.
The BLAST Project supports boys and young men aged 25 and under, across the Leeds and Bradford areas.
Sexual exploitation happens when you get something you want or need (e.g. money, food, a place to stay, drugs, alcohol, love, affection, a pair of trainers, a favour, secrets kept etc) but only when do something sexual. To find out more about sexual exploitation, click here.
If you are a boy or young man and need help and support now, you can phone:
ChildLine 0800 11 11 or to chat to someone from ChildLine online now, please click here
The BLAST Project is keen that as many people as possible realise that it isn't just girls and young women that can be sexually exploited.
We have developed two posters that aim to raise awareness of how boys and young men can also be affected by these issues.
Please click on either two of the images to the left to view our 'Think Again' posters in a larger size.
These can be printed off and displayed on your notice boards.
