Bristol Charity Advent Calendar – day ten
One25 is a Bristol charity supporting women street sex-workers, giving them hope and practical help so they can lead a life free from addiction, violence and poverty.
Women sex workers are among the most vulnerable in society, many are homeless, acutely malnourished and suffering from drug/alcohol dependence to cope with the suffering they face on a daily basis.
is needed now More than ever
One25 provides night out-reach vans and drop-in centres to offer hundreds of vulnerable women a place to go, away from the cold with a hot meal and a sympathetic ear.
The vans and centres are a lifeline, and are usually the first step in rebuilding their new lives, from offering advice on rehab or finding them somewhere safe to live. They also offer intensive support to women who want to get off the street permanently.
– There are various ways to help from financial support or cooking a meal for the drop-in centre. All these ways on how to donate can be found at www.one25.org.uk/donate.
Every day during Advent, Bristol24/7 will be focussing on a Bristol charity that you can support. If you want to see a charity featured, please email [email protected]
