A charity that works to provide help and support to women at risk of, or involved in, the sex industry in the Horsham, Crawley and Gatwick areas, has been given a boost.

StreetlightUK has received a £500 donation from Horsham Police.

The money will help provide a Resource Bag full of activities, facts, stories and contacts to make children aware of the dangers of being groomed into the sex industry.

The charity hopes to give away a bag to every 12 year-old child.

Investigations continue into an alleged serious assault in Tilgate.

Police are attempting to trace 23 year-old Ryan Evans, of no fixed abode, for interview.

It follows allegations made by a 17 year old girl that she was kicked, punched and dragged along by her hair last month.

Evans, who is currently homeless, is described as white, 5’10”, with brown hair and grey eyes.
