AngieNickaPia - Oxford Dictionary Definition: A group of "idiots" who are going to launch themselves out of a plane for charity.
Why are we doing this? because....
Who are they?
One25 is a Bristol-based charity that helps prostitutes get off the street to build new lives away from violence, poverty / addiction and become independent.
The charity reaches out to women on the streets who are homeless, acutely malnourished and addicted to drugs or alcohol. They help women who are deeply traumatized from childhood abuse or violence on the streets, which has recently seen 13 young women die.
What do they do?
The charity helps women get access to treatment for addictions and therapy if they need it, they reunite them with safe family members, get access to training, education and employment, help secure housing and support them to stay on the straight on the narrow, which can often be difficult when you have no fixed address, money or support.
Statistics on women the charity supports:
99% are addicted to one or more class A drugs and/or alcohol
All suffer from chronic physical, mental and/or sexual health problems and half suffer from acute ill health
66% are homeless
100% of women receiving intensive casework support have reported being abused as children
32% left school at 14 or younger
92% suffer from malnutrition
