Story

Nicky and Marissa will be walking BAREFOOT across 20 feet of embers at 670 degrees C, to raise vital funds and awareness for Bristol's marginalised women.

Yes, you read that correctly. Just our bare feet with no fire-resistant socks, special chemicals or camera tricks!

We are terrified at the mere thought of walking through fire. Frankly, we'd prefer a games night over this daring adventure any day! Yet, the fear we feel is nothing compared to the immense challenges faced by marginalised women. So, here's the deal – we need your support to motivate us through this fiery escapade. Your support will give us the courage and motivation to keep going, and not back out.

This symbolic journey through the flames is an act of solidarity, a testament to our commitment to raising awareness and support for those who have battled adversity.

By contributing to our cause you're igniting the flames of change, breaking barriers, and championing the rights and well-being of women in need. Your generosity will fuel the flames of hope, allowing us to shine a light on the struggles faced by marginalised women and provide them with the support and resources they deserve.

One25 is a Bristol women's charity supporting women who have been deeply traumatised from childhood abuse and violence. This leads to life situations where they are stigmatised, marginalised and locked out of society.

Wherever women are in their journeys, One25 gives love and practical support, without judgment or expectation.

Last year they supported 271 women. And it makes a very real difference. Here's an idea of what your donation could achieve:

£100 can fuel the van for a month.

£30 can provide food parcels and drinks for a week at our Health Hub.

£25 can fund our freephone service for a month.

£9 can provide clothing and essential items for a woman.

Your generosity will help One25 to continue to provide life-changing services to brave and resilient women.

We really appreciate your support.

Nicky and Marissa.
