On Friday 10 October, I will be sleeping out so no woman has to! One25 is a Bristol charity which reaches out to women who street sex work and supports them to move from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community.

To ensure One25's services can continue to support women, I ask that you kindly make a donation.

Here's an idea of what your donation could achieve:

- £50 can stock the outreach van 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.

More about me and One25:

I am lucky enough to be One25's community fundraiser, and am excited to be starting my role by taking part in and fundraising for an event that I am planning!

The women we support face severe, multiple disadvantages. These are layered traumas, often including child sexual abuse, violence, addiction, chronic ill health, and more. 72% of them have recently been or are homeless. This number is rising, and that's why we are sleeping out.

I am so impressed by our caseworkers and frontline volunteers who walk alongside the women and support them for as long as they need. Their trauma-informed, endlessly compassionate approach constantly inspires me. Listen to a recent BBC interview about the women and One25: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002g1s1
