Those who know me well know a) I HATE being cold (misery making stuff) and b) I can't function without a good night's sleep - so hopefully you'll support me with what is a significant personal challenge. On Friday 4 October, I will be sleeping 'rough' in Bristol so no woman has to!

I am very fortunate to not have experienced homelessness personally (well until temporarily this October 4th!), yet in my six year's of involvement with One25 I've heard of countless women for whom this is part of their lives. 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 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.
