One25

Bristol, Virginia, United States • 11 - 50 Employees
Nonprofit Organization Management

One25 reaches out to vulnerable women trapped in or vulnerable to street sex-work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction. The 300 women One25 supports are among Bristol's poorest and most vulnerable individuals. Most of the 170 women we see on the streets are homeless, acutely malnourished and addicted to drugs or alcohol: because of this their safety and health is neglected. We see women who are deeply traumatized – first from childhood abuse and then in the extreme violence of their adult lives on the streets.One25 gives them the intensive support needed to step away from the streets: whether for crisis support on their night van, an afternoon at the drop-in centre, or permanently with the help of one one-to-one caseworkers. One woman, ‘Beth', wrote: "If it wasn't for One25 I wouldn't be where I am today – cleaned up, looking after my family, even going back into education…Without your support I definitely wouldn't be alive. You gave me hope when no one else cared about me"
