National Philanthropy Day on 15th November celebrates the impact that charitable giving has on influencing social change.
One25 relies on the generous support of the public to run its vital services for women. Support from philanthropists is instrumental in allowing women to feel safer and cared for every single day and night in Bristol. Only because of their kindness and commitment to justice do women risking their lives in Bristol have a place to rest, get a warm meal on rainy days, or a lovingly made hot chocolate on the coldest nights of the year.
We took the opportunity to speak with Jane, a philanthropist who believes in the women we see every day.
It has been heart-warming to hear, in her own words, what inspires her generosity and support for One25. For Jane, One25 is an organisation that “gives hope”. She is particularly drawn to the non-judgmental support, and the proactive and collaborative approach that is seen in every aspect of the work we do.
For anyone considering supporting One25, Jane recommends speaking to a member of the team to learn more about their work:
"All the staff I’ve had contact with are so passionate about what they do and the need to support the women One25 works with. Speaking to them will help you understand just how vital this work is."

We are so grateful for Jane’s generosity, and to everyone whose incredible support has allowed One25 to be here for women for over 30 years.
