My story

Hello Lovelies-

I'm raising money to support the U-Turn Project.

I'm volunteering at U-Turn 20-40 hours a month. U-Turn is an organization supporting vulnerable women and sex workers in East London.

------------

The U-Turn Project supplied me with the following:

U-Turn is an innovative and dynamic charity working with vulnerable women who have a history of or are still involved in sex work. The women that we work with often have a wide range of needs and problems from homelessness to confidence problems, our service is designed not only to help them to over come these individual issues but also to support each woman that we work with to find out the best way for her to turn her life around and find a more positive empowered way of life.

U-Turn provide outreach work and activities such as photography, poetry and sewing groups, home visits and sexual health counselling, and a drugs worker in our women’s centre. A donation of £10 pays for an hours outreach work and helps the women to begin to make a U turn towards a sustainable happier life.

-------------

Last year we raised £1357 pounds for U-Turn, including £740 pounds donated through the Amanda Palmer webcast auction.

------------

Now that I'm actually volunteering for U-Turn on a regular basis, and I'm personally involved in the outreach work of the organization, I'm even more inspired by them.

This year, I'd like to double the goal and raise another £1357. Please help me reach this goal and consider donating to this inspiring organization.

Thank you so much for your support.

xoxo
