One25 began in 1995 in response to the unmet needs of women who were street sex-working in Bristol. Over the last 29 years we have learnt much about working with this marginalised group. One25 is still the only organisation specifically for street sex-working women in the city.

From May 2023 – April 2024, we provided vital services for 260 women. Of the women we supported:

• 36 exited street sex work
• 213 were healthier
• 127 were safer
• 104 were connected to the specialist services they needed

We work with some of Bristol’s most marginalised women, supporting them to move from crisis and trauma to independence in the community. Wherever they are in their journeys, we give love and practical support, without judgement or expectation.

Women’s needs have become more complex, so our work is more important than ever. The impact we make as a charity saves lives.

About the role
This is an important time to join the Board as we work to deliver our strategic goals and continue to focus on the positive steps One25 can take to increase and diversify income to sustain our vital work. Being a Trustee is an excellent way to develop your skills and can be a fascinating and rewarding experience.

“As a Trustee and Treasurer, being able to play a small part in One25’s development and successes over the past 5 years has been hugely rewarding and fulfilling. I will be looking to pass the baton onto a new treasurer in the future and am so grateful for the experiences and relationships that have enriched my time as a Trustee.”

Our new Trustees will be joining a talented Board, working alongside an inspiring CEO and senior management team, and our dedicated colleagues and volunteers. You will be able to connect with staff and gain insight into our work with the women.

You will attend four two-hour board meetings and four 1.5-hour committee meetings a year, plus two annual away days with our staff team and senior management team. There will be an additional time commitment to review meeting papers which are circulated in advance of board and committee meetings.

This is a voluntary role, and we are able to reimburse expenses.

We are seeking new Trustees for specific roles, but also welcome applications for other areas of skill and expertise:

• Finance expertise (who will succeed our current Treasurer after a period of induction)
• HR expertise (who will also benefit from an induction with our current HR lead)

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The organisation and the Board are committed to learning around ED&I and are dedicated to a continuous process of challenging ourselves to increase inclusivity across every area of our work with the women and within our internal systems. We welcome and encourage applications from all sections of society and from those with the potential to make great Trustees. We particularly welcome applications from people from ethnic minority, LGBTQ and disability groups, and those who have lived experience of multiple disadvantage as these groups are currently underrepresented on our board. We also welcome applications from first-time Trustees.

Closing date: 9am, Monday 28th October 2024

Interviews: Between 11th and 22nd November 2024
