UK Network of Sex Work Projects

UK Network of Sex Work Projects (UKNSWP) is an umbrella organisation that represents sex work projects in the UK, both agencies or individuals working with sex workers. It facilitates networking between those it represents, so as to share good practice about providing quality support services for sex workers. It is a charity based in Manchester.

In July 2012 UKNSWP launched the National Ugly Mugs (NUM) scheme, a third party reporting system for sex workers that issues alerts to sex workers via their smartphone, and feeds intelligence to police, aiming to reduce offending by dangerous serial sexual offenders.

It was one of five winners of the Guardian Charity Awards 2014.
