Story
I’m lucky enough to never have had the misfortune to need to sleep on the street. Nor has my life been blighted by abuse and trauma, leading to poor physical and mental health and addiction.
On Friday 4 October, I will be sleeping out so no woman has to, for a charity that is close to my heart. Of the 271 women that One25 supported in the last year, 53% of them have experienced homelessness. One25 is a Bristol women's charity which reaches out to women who street sex work and support them to move from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community.
Here's an idea of what your donation could achieve:
- £50 can stock the outreach van (that I’m a volunteer for) with food parcels and drinks for a week, providing vital nourishment for women facing hunger.
- £14 could provide clothing and essential items for a woman, helping her be safer and healthier.
- £120 could pay for our outreach Emergency Accommodation Fund for a month, giving women a safe place to sleep for the night when they have nowhere else to go.
I really appreciate your support. Your generosity will help One25 to continue to provide life-changing services to brave and resilient women.
