UK Network of Sex Work Projects (UKNSWP) is an umbrella organisation that represents sex work projects in the UK,[1] both agencies or individuals working with sex workers.[2] It facilitates networking between those it represents, so as to share good practice about providing quality support services for sex workers.[3] 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.[1]
It was one of five winners of the Guardian Charity Awards 2014.[1]
