Banana Lulu is back folks. If you don't know the drill, here's how it works:

1. I wear a banana suit at all waking hours from 12pm Tues 10th May until 5pm Sunday 15th May, and in doing so I look like an absolute plonker. (cringe)

2. You make a donation to help incredibly marginalised women in Bristol get the love, care and practical support they need (read more below). Don't forget to tick gift aid - to get the gov to add 25% at no cost to you.

3. You write a song request (optional) in your donation message on this page and I will deliver the goods on instagram (@biglucook) as soon as poss. (more cringe)

Job done. We all feel great and women get the help they need.

Here's what your dono could do:

🍌£35 can stock the outreach van for a week, giving women comfort and safety on a long night.

🍌£10 can pay for the One25 Freephone helpline for a week.

🍌£5 can give a nourishing home-cooked meal at drop-in, as well as a take away food parcel.

Thanks for being so insanely generous and for putting up with my banana antics year upon year! Your generosity will help One25 to continue to provide life-changing services to brave and resilient women.
