Women who street sex work in Bristol need YOU. They are mostly hidden and often forgotten. Their lives have been filled with trauma, abuse, and so many things that I can’t even begin to imagine having to face. But they have great strength… they are survivors. 

Over the last decade I've met women at all points of their journey. From those on our night van in desperate situations, to others who are building new lives away from the streets. All of these women inspire me. They are brilliant!

Every day, we do what we can to make sure that these women know that they are loved and not alone. This May, I'll give up my wardrobe (and my dignity!) for 125 hours. From 15-20 May I'll dress as a banana to encourage you to share your hard-earned pounds. Why a banana? Well they've taken on quite a place in our hearts since Megan and Harry came to visit last year and started the #bananamessaging phenomenon!

This will be the silliest challenge I've ever done and don't think that lockdown will make it less humiliating. I'll be cycling to work as a banana, doing my pilates class as a banana, walking round the block as a banana, my supermarket shopping as a banana, baking banana loaf as a banana... oh my goodness the list goes on.

I'll post pics for your delight (aaaargh!), and of course bring gifts of banana loaf next time we meet!

Please dig deep and give what you can. Please donate to help women escape life on the streets.

Thank you xxx
