About us

One25 reaches out to women trapped in, or vulnerable to, street sex work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction.

We are a Bristol-based charity, founded in 1995 as the only organisation specifically supporting street sex-working women. Our vision is a community where all women are valued and able to live fulfilled lives without the risk of being trapped in sex work.

"One25 gives with such love: you just kept trying and you wouldn’t let go. When no one else could deal with me I had you."
