We reach out to women who are street sex-working in our city, supporting them to move from crisis and trauma to independence in the community.
Over the last year, we met 259 women who were battling poverty, violence and addiction. Women’s needs have become more complex so our work is more important than ever. The impact we make as a charity saves lives.
With partners across Bristol and beyond, One25 is committed to each woman for as long as she needs our help. Volunteers, staff, fundraisers and supporters are backing them all the way.
Last year (2025-26):
For women in Bristol who are street sex-working, it’s a last resort. They are in crisis: using hard drugs to cope with trauma, street sex-working to fund addiction and further traumatised by violence. It’s dangerous, lonely and difficult to leave but last year 44 women exited street sex work.
Exploitation and abuse aren’t unusual for women who are stigmatised and fighting their own battles. Thanks to One25’s highly trained volunteers and staff, 142 women were safer last year.
One25 has strong partnerships with services in Bristol and beyond, to make sure women can get as much as they can of the very best support.
We supported 222 women with their health and wellbeing last year. This includes giving out food and condoms, and supporting women to access other services for support with their sexual, mental, and physical health.
Our commitment to supporting women who are street sex-working, is backed by robust impact measurement. Our bespoke database logs women’s immediate and long-term needs, take-up of services, the sorts of interventions they require and the actions taken.
