TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
Chair and Chief Executive Officer’s Introduction
Women who street sex work in Bristol are largely invisible and their needs poorly understood. One25 is proud to come alongside and provide life-changing support to women who have experienced profound disadvantage at every stage of life.
This year we refined our focus to support women in greatest need. As the number of women using our van outreach has more than doubled in three years (up from 94 women in 2021-22 to 192 in 2024-25), our work has never been more urgent.
Over the last year, we supported 242 women facing unimaginable challenges. Because of our outreach, health hub, and casework, these women were safer, healthier, and more connected to the support they need. Most powerfully, 43 women exited street sex work – a 19% increase from last year.
"[One25 makes me feel] safe, loved and supported. I am really grateful for One25, [it] has helped me to start to rebuild my life." - Simone (Mar 2025)
This work happens because of the extraordinary compassion and skill of our staff, volunteers, and supporters. Working together, we have enabled One25 to be a lifeline – meeting women where they are, without judgement.
In the light of changing needs of women and a challenging socioeconomic context, we reviewed and sharpened the focus of our strategic goals to increase our impact:
-
Delivering excellent services – we aim to maximise the services wrapped around each women we are in contact with.
-
Strengthening our finances – a new Income Generation Strategy that builds on previous success and adapts to a challenging financial climate.
-
Empowering our people - maintaining our focus on diversity and inclusion, increasing access to learning and development, and embedding a trauma-informed approach.
-
Influencing systems change - to increase responsiveness to gender and the unique needs of women involved in street sex work.
We embedded our values – compassion, justice, and learning – across recruitment, training, and everyday actions. And we are proud to continue hosting Bridging Gaps, our lived experience consultancy group, who have shaped training, governance, and advocacy from the inside out.
The above actions enable us to do our best work, to achieve our mission of helping women move from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community.
Thank you for standing with us – and with the women who need us most.
With hope and gratitude
Rachel Clark (Chair of trustees)
Jennifer Riley (CEO)

Aims and Objectives
Purposes
One25’s purposes, as set out in the objects contained in the company’s articles of association, are:
‘To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people, particularly women in the Bristol area who are, may become or have been engaged in the sex industry from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of such people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.’
Vision: A world where all women are safe, feel loved and thrive.
Mission: To meet women who street sex work where they are, supporting them to move from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community.
Ensuring One25’s work delivers our aims
One25 refers to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and planning future activities. This year, we intensified our commitment to supporting women involved in street sex work in Bristol.
We have refreshed the strategic plan for 2025-28 in line with learning from last year to a format that includes milestones and metrics for oversight by our Board. This strategy outlines four outcome areas: service delivery, financial sustainability, team experience, and impact and influence.
The Senior Management Team, together with the Finance Manager, reviews and develops operational and strategic plans in monthly meetings and planning days and work to an annual business plan which has been approved by the Board. Progress updates are shared quarterly with Trustee sub committees with specified areas of focus, and all relate back to the strategic goals. New areas of work are considered in line with our strategic aims and our mission to support street sex-working women in Bristol.
Strategic priorities
Our strategic plan aims are to:
-
Provide quality services and develop partnerships to meet the women's needs
-
Grow and diversify our income to secure our service delivery

Our services
Van outreach
We have seen more women street sex-working over the last year. 192 women used the van outreach service a total of 1,903 times (average 6.2 women per shift). Increased use of this service (visits up 4% from 1,829 in 2023-24) indicates that the challenges that women face are increasingly acute, and that the impact of over-stretched budgets and increased demand on services are making things increasingly difficult for marginalised women.
Health hub
Health hub provides vital access to healthcare for women who might otherwise go without. It was launched in partnership with BrisDoc (NHS healthcare provider) in June 2024. The increased focus on health and closer partnership with BrisDoc has enabled us to be much more intentional about delivering health interventions and we continue to learn more about the health inequalities that women experience as a result. 89 women used health hub this year. This was 9% more than the previous year (82 in 2023-24) and the number of visits increased by 6% to 887 (average 5.6 women per session compared with 5.1 in 2023-24).
Casework
Caseworkers have provided personalised one-to-one support for 128 women. During the year, One25’s casework team included these specialist areas of expertise: drug treatment, housing and finance, mental health services, domestic and sexual violence, criminal justice system and multiple disadvantages.
We have adapted our approach to focus resources on working with women in most need and linking women with external support services when appropriate. This has led to a better understanding of endings and how to role model this in our work with women. We’ve also improved our incident reporting processes and safeguarding monitoring to better understand and respond to risk. We have launched a new case management system to improve efficiency and usability for the team and will embed this in the coming year. We hope that this will offer deeper analysis of the women’s journeys and the impact that our services have.
Bridging Gaps
Since 2023, One25 took on the management of Bridging Gaps as the lived experience voice of One25, consulting on areas such as strategic goals, developing One25’s training offer to other professionals, and recruitment. The group consists of women who have experienced trauma including addiction, homelessness, mental ill-health, sexual exploitation and street sex work,
4

TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
domestic and sexual violence, and poverty. This year seven women attended across 26 sessions and were involved in 10 further workshops or presentations outside of this.
They are paid consultants and a crucial part of One25, helping to shape our services and challenge systemic barriers with their expertise to work as effectively as possible for women street sex-working in Bristol. They have also been consulted on the Health Needs Assessment of Sex Workers in Bristol (Public Health Bristol) and the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping 5 year Strategy (Bristol City Council).
"Bridging Gaps has been there for me. I’ve met inspirational women who are my friends and I’ve learnt that no matter how small the change, that we are people that have a voice and we matter, no matter what happens, and that together we can make change." - Bridging Gaps Member
Since the start of 2024, Bridging Gaps has trained over 200 professionals, including primary care professionals, GP trainees, Master’s students, researchers and voluntary sector staff. This includes:
-
Trauma-Informed Care training for ICS leaders and for Health Equity focussed trainees
-
Co-Production in Primary Care training with the School for Primary Care Research Delivering ‘Supporting Women who Street Sex Work’ training, a co-produced and codelivered training session to increase awareness of experiences of women who street sex work.
Bridging Gaps has also contributed to academic work, including a paper about their work with Bristol GP practices, and an article on how health inequalities can be tackled together in primary care. Recently Bridging Gaps contributed to Bristol City Council’s strategy for homelessness and their health needs assessment for street sex workers.
Bridging Gaps has been recognised for their incredible work, winning awards including the 2022 University of Bristol Open Research Prize in the category of Widening Reach. Most recently, the group have been recognised in the Annual Recognition Awards in Trauma Research and Practice 2024 for their contribution to applied research or clinical initiative that focuses on improving the understanding management, or outcomes of the psychological trauma in marginalised populations.
How we measure impact
We monitor and evaluate outreach, health hub, and casework outcomes for women using a bespoke client database. In November 2024 we moved to a new case management system which has streamlined this process and increased our capability to monitor outcomes, safeguarding, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, incident reports, and improve GDPR measures more effectively. We monitor outcomes for all women across nine areas: mental health,
5
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
physical health, substance misuse, safety (domestic/sexual violence), criminal justice, housing/homelessness prevention, finance, family & parenting, and life skills.
How our activities deliver public benefit
The trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on public benefit.
All our charitable activities focus on the prevention or relief of poverty by working with highly marginalised women. The women One25 work with face multiple and severe disadvantages. The challenges for women who use our street sex work services include poverty (100%), domestic or sexual violence (86%) and addiction to drugs and/or alcohol (84%). In addition, 76% have chronic mental ill health, 86% have chronic physical ill health, 95% are or have been recently homeless and many have disclosed childhood abuse (43%).
Considering the multiple barriers that women face, ensuring that our services are as inclusive as possible is important to us and we are working to improve our monitoring of those accessing the services according to the nine protected characteristics. Our electric van (funded by Bristol City Council’s Resilience Fund) has greatly improved both reliability of the service and accessibility for women, e.g., there is lower lighting to cater for neurodiverse needs. All our services are provided free to service users.
The impact of our work goes far beyond those we support directly. It includes reducing distress to families and friends of our service users, as well as residents living in areas where street sex-working occurs. We use our unique position and deep insights to influence priorities of commissioners and policymakers and share learning through open mornings and affiliation with national networks including Beyond the Streets and Agenda Alliance. We promote best practice through specialist training delivered to various partners and placements for trainee social workers. We promote the women’s voices at local and national level in academic research, statutory consultations and through the media and other communication networks.
Last year, 242 women benefitted from One25’s services. Of these:
-
77 were connected to specialist services to get the support they needed
-
123 women were safer; 29 used victim services
-
All (242) women were supported with health and wellbeing needs; 57 engaged with the GP at health hub
-
All (242) women were supported around addiction and treatment; 154 engaged in preparation for drug treatment; 33 engaged in drug or alcohol treatment
-
23 women received support for criminal justice issues; 6 were referred to an external criminal justice agency

-
All (242) women received advice and support around housing and finance; 88 have been in safe accommodation
-
42 women were supported around family and parenting; 7 were supported around maternity; and 42 were supported around wider family relationships
Overview of impact in relation to street sex work for 2024-25:
-
21 women were supported to prevent them entering street sex work
-
46 abstained from street sex work for a period of three months
-
43 women exited street sex work for a period of six months or more
-
19 women maintained their exit from street sex work for a period of 12 months or more
We have seen fewer women entering street sex work this year (4 compared with 7 in 202324). We have seen a similar number of women abstaining (46 compared with 44 in 2023-24).
We have seen more women exiting street sex work (43 compared with 36 in 2023-24), and the number of women returning to the streets after exit has remained the same (13). We will continue to monitor this in the coming year to ensure that we are providing the best support for women and to better understand the key areas of support that enable women to exit.
Prioritising working with women who are street sex-working has meant that we have been signposting women who have maintained their exit for 12 months or more onto other support. Positively, we have seen fewer women who have maintained their exit for 12 month or more returning to street sex work (at 20% compared with 32% in 2023-24).
Plans for the future
In response to more women using our van, our strategic plan outlines key actions to deepen impact, expand reach, and strengthen long-term support:
-
Extend outreach: plan to pilot later van outreach hours in 2027-28 to increase contact and support for women.
-
Deepen support: focus on women only seen at night, connecting them to casework and health services.
Strengthen health hub:
-
Expand from 3 to 5 days per week by 2026-27.
-
Build evidence of impact using NHS data on interventions delivered.
-
New Move-On Caseworker: (2026–30) introduce dedicated support for women further along in their recovery to reconnect with services, skills, and community - shaped by learnings from the former Peony project.

Fundraising Approach
One25’s fundraising approach is to build and grow a diverse range of income sources and ensure that we are not overly reliant on any one funder. We balance risk (blending low risk, low return activities with higher risk, higher return initiatives) to generate an optimal mix of unrestricted and restricted income. Our fundraising approach is integrally linked to our wider communications strategy which aims to bring people closer to the experience of women so that they are inspired to advocate for the needs of women, volunteer and support our work financially.
One25 fundraises in line with the Code of Fundraising Practice. We continue to be registered with the Fundraising Regulator, the independent body that regulates charitable fundraising in the UK.
We are committed to fundraising ethically and take all reasonable steps to treat each donor fairly. This includes considering the needs of any potential donor who may be in a vulnerable circumstance or require additional care and support to make an informed decision. We do not exploit the credulity, lack of knowledge, apparent need for care and support or vulnerable circumstance of any donor at any point in time. We have not received any complaints about One25’s fundraising activity.
This year, we have reviewed our existing income generation strategy and have built on our learnings to develop a new strategy for 2025/28. This will increase our financial sustainability and help to develop a more diverse funding portfolio. By 2028, we aim to grow One25’s income by 45% to £1.8 million per annum. To achieve this, we will focus our time and resources on three goals:
- Unlocking our full potential by focusing on the opportunities with the greatest potential for financial growth and impact.

ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
-
Igniting support for bold new initiatives that inspire confidence, attract new funders, and deepen the commitment of our existing supporters.
-
Building a sustainable funding balance that gives One25 the freedom to adapt, innovate and drive lasting change.
Financial review
One25’s income in 2024-25 came from a variety of sources, including grants (55%), one-off donations (14%), commissioned income (14%), regular donations (6%), community fundraising (6%) and other income (4%).
We ended the year with a financial surplus of £280,305, of which £259,400 worth of grants are in respect of funding restricted to be used during 2025/26. At year end, our free reserves totalled £994,641 after transfers into and out of designated funds.
Investment policy
One25 seeks to maintain the capital value of its assets, maintain liquidity and produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk, whilst acting in accordance with its ethical standards. One25 needs cash to support its day-to-day operations but will also hold cash and investments as a result of building free reserves, which may be used to develop new projects or services. The organisation’s investment policy needs to remain aligned with its policy on free reserves, such that funds must be available to manage liquidity pressures when required.
The organisation’s policy is as follows;
-
At least 3 months of expenditure must be held as cash in instant access accounts;
-
The balance up to the amount specified by the Board as the current target free reserves amount can be held in accounts or investments where a maximum of 95 days’ notice is required; and
-
Any amounts above the agreed free reserves target amount can be held in accounts or investments where notice of up to 13 months is required.
All cash balances will be deposited in institutions regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, with the aim of maximising interest income. Cash deposits should be split so that no one institution holds all of One25’s total cash balance, and consideration will be given to maintaining balances with different providers below the FSCS compensation level.
The Board will approve any non-cash investment activity (e.g., stocks and shares etc.) taking into account the proposed risk and potential rewards, proposed level of investment and the current financial position of the charity. The Finance Manager will monitor the cash and
9
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
investments position and actual and projected cash flow and report to the Finance, Audit, Risk and Governance sub-committee and to the Board.
Reserves policy
The Board of trustees has given consideration to appropriate levels of reserves retained for safe financial management. Its view is that One25 should hold between at least 3 and 9 months of total budgeted expenditure as a free reserve (for 2025-26 the total budgeted expenditure is £1,369,500), depending on the current position of the charity including the amount and certainty of actual and projected grant funding.
During each financial year, the Board agrees a reserves target within the overall range for free reserves at the forthcoming year end. This target will take account of the current performance and outlook of the organisation, including the current funding position, the position and attitude of current and potential funders and any specific requirements for funding existing and new services.
Reserves are required for the following reasons:
-
As employers we have an obligation to maintain sufficient income to pay our staff;
-
One25’s income is prone to fluctuation and is dependent on the generosity of the public, the uncertainties of government funding and the availability of grant funding;
-
Healthy reserves are necessary for One25 to flexibly respond to need and pilot new areas of work; and
-
Maintenance and repair of the One25 premises.
The success of our income generation strategy in 2024-25 meant that our free reserves totalled £994,641 at year end. This is equivalent to 8.7 months of budgeted expenditure and is at the upper end of our reserves policy and well above the target set by the board as part of its 2024-25 budget setting process. There remain ongoing challenges in securing funding and the Board has set a deficit budget for 2025-26 as One25 aims to achieve its challenging strategic goals. Starting 2025-26 with a higher than anticipated level of reserves gives us confidence that One25 will be able to deliver its objectives over the coming year while we embed a funding strategy to ensure that One25 remains financially sustainable.
Structure, Management and Governance
We have completed a Governance review with an associated action plan. Key achievements from this include:
-
Introduction of annual Board and Committee self-evaluations
-
Revised Trustee evaluation process
-
Board Development Programme

New role descriptions for Committee Chairs
We have identified top improvement priorities for 2025/26 which include:
-
Impact metrics – to ensure clarity and consistent understanding and ensure that this informs improvement in the support we offer women
-
Board diversity – to improve diversity in background, ethnicity, skills and lived experience.
-
Hearing women’s voices and lived experience – to integrate this at Board level and clarify how voices of women are represented in Board and Committee discussions.
We have recruited two new Trustees to succeed our Treasurer and HR lead. We have further developed our approach to risk management to ensure that we have a sound understanding of our risk profile compared to our risk appetite.
Governing document
One25 is a private company limited by guarantee and also a charity registered with the Charity Commission. The organisation is governed by its Articles of Association dated 30 April 1997, which were amended 15 October 2001, 18 October 2004, 24 October 2005, 30 October 2010, and 21 January 2019.
Recruitment and appointment of Trustee Board
On 30 April 2025 the trustee board consisted of twelve trustees. We recruit trustees as required being mindful of the skills needed to support across the organisation. A nominations committee, chaired by the One25 Vice Chair, continues to support the Chair in the effective recruitment of trustees. Members of this committee interview with the Chair for potential trustees and the CEO is also involved in the process. Appointment recommendations are then put to the Board for approval. Trustee tenure is three years, after which they may stand for re-election for two further terms before being required to stand down. A key priority in future recruitment is increasing trustee diversity, we plan to engage recruitment specialists to support this ambition.
Trustee induction and training
We have established a Board Development Programme which outlines three categories of development:
-
Core Governance: What you need to be an effective trustee (Induction).
-
Ongoing and mandatory development: Training to fulfil Trustee duties safely and effectively e.g. safeguarding, data protection.
-
Contextual and cultural understanding: What you need to be an effective Trustee at One25 e.g. Working with women who street sex work, One25 finances, fundraising knowledge.
11
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
We’ll aim to deliver training in proportionate and engaging ways, recognising the time commitment trustees already make.
New Trustee induction consists of a further meeting with the Chair and SMT, including a tour of the premises and introductions to any staff present, plus an information package including the Articles of Association, Annual Report and Accounts and Charity Commission booklets describing the responsibilities of the trustee role, as well as internal information about the charity. New trustees complete training around Data Protection, Safeguarding and Governance. Further training and support is available around Supporting Street Sex Workers, Trauma Informed approaches, Fundraising and Finance.
Staff structure and remuneration
The team (end of April 2025) consisted of 30 members of staff. The CEO assesses all new job roles against One25’s salary bands and salaries are set accordingly. This year we have developed a new salary grading framework which offers staff increased transparency around how salaries are graded and a pay point system where salary levels are more transparent. This action came following discussion at a staff forum which highlighted the need for greater transparency around this to support staff aspirations and understanding of potential development. The CEO and Senior Management team’s remuneration is assessed and reviewed by the Board.
Volunteer support
Over the course of the year, an amazing team of 105 volunteers have supported One25 giving over 4,500 hours of support. Outreach, and health hub could not operate effectively without them, and we also greatly value the support of those who come into the offices to help with admin tasks and housekeeping duties like clothes sorting and restocking the van. We have embedded a specialist team leader pathway so that we can recruit and train specifically for this role more quickly than relying on recruitment from our current volunteers. In the last year we recruited 31 new volunteers and held 3 inductions. We have continued to deliver a rolling programme of volunteer training. Topics covered included professional boundaries, early evidence kit training, and safeguarding. We have improved volunteer retention and ensure that all volunteers are fully supported and supervised.
Risk management
The senior management team reviews the risks to which the charity is exposed on a bimonthly basis and records these in a risk register, along with systems and procedures put in place to mitigate the risks. This risk register is shared and discussed with the board and the sub committees. One25’s risk management approach takes account of its risk appetite, which is the amount of risk that an organisation is prepared to tolerate. We have implemented and
12
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
completed actions from the risk management review. We have also undertaken a safeguarding audit this year, with improved capturing of risk data on the new case management system.
Significant Risks
The trustees have identified that the most significant risks to the organisation at the time of writing this report are:
-
The risk to the financial sustainability of One25 in the coming year and beyond. Risk impact - We need to grow One25’s income to sustain services and to respond to the needs of the women by developing services. Inability to achieve financial sustainability could lead to reduced program delivery, loss of donor and stakeholder confidence, inability to meet strategic goals, and ultimately threaten the charity’s longterm viability and impact.
-
Mitigations - We have a renewed income generation strategy in place and resourcing in place to deliver on it. We continue to strive for a diverse funding mix, although we recognise that grants are likely to continue to account for most of our income. Our flexible approach will balance risk and generate an optimal mix of unrestricted and restricted income. We are also mindful of the need to sustain existing commissioned income and secure new business. We are working hard to build stronger partnerships and develop our evidence base to meet strategic aims of statutory partners.
-
The risk of ineffective safeguarding of women, staff and volunteers. Risk impact - failure to safeguard women, staff, and volunteers can result in serious physical harm, legal consequences, reputational damage, loss of funding, and operational disruption, severely impacting the organisation’s ability to fulfil its mission. Mitigations - We have conducted a safeguarding audit resulting in a new safeguarding policy. Our new case management system has streamlined our risk management plans and now provides safeguarding alerts to better manage this operational risk.
Organisational structure
One25’s trustees meet regularly as a Board (at least four times a year). In addition, there is at least one trustee away day and an additional away day with the staff, trustees and Bridging Gaps members together. These away days allow time for fuller discussion of strategic development or other important issues, as well as team building, connection and appreciation of everyone’s contribution.
One25 have three subcommittees:
-
Finance, Audit, Risk and Governance Committee (FARG)
-
Services and Operations Committee (SOC)
-
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
13
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
Trustees are expected to be part of FARG and/or SOC. Committees focus on specialist issues relating to their subject and take responsibility for relevant risks. The chair of each committee will make recommendations for strategic decisions to the board. The CEO and other senior staff members submit written reports and attend all board meetings. Decisions are made through voting by trustees only, with due regard to the constitutional requirement for a quorum.
Once the board has agreed the overall strategic priorities, delivery of the business plan and operational decisions are delegated to the CEO. The CEO is held to account for progress towards the plan through regular reports to the board and through one-to-one meetings with the Chair, where the CEO’s objectives are set and reviewed. The Chair conducts an annual appraisal with the CEO, and a summary of the appraisal is shared with the board.
Partnership Working
Working in partnership is essential to the success of our work and we collaborate with over 60 statutory, commercial, and voluntary organisations to advocate for systemic change in Bristol.
We seek active partnerships to deliver contracts across the sector. We have existing contracts with St Mungo’s (Assertive Contact and Engagement Service), Turning Point (Horizons), and SafeLink (Victim Services). An opportunity around the new SafeLink partnership is that now the Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner is specifically looking at the experiences of sexual violence in women who are street sex-working. We also have good links with Bristol City Council Commissioners. We work closely with BrisDoc to deliver our health hub. Another key long-term partnership is with Avon & Somerset Police, and this is widely recognised as a best practice example of connecting vulnerable people with the Police.
We continue to input into around 25 local strategy groups to raise awareness of women’s needs and advocate for better support for them. This year, our CEO has continued to co-chair a group to focus on women’s homelessness and rough sleeping, which reports into the Bristol Reducing Rough Sleeping Partnership Group. One of the main aims of the group was to deliver a women’s homelessness census which took place in 2024. As women facing homelessness have such unique experiences, this work is hugely important to ensure each woman is receiving the best support. We hope that tangible changes from this work will include building a gendered approach to homelessness. For example, for a service to be trauma-informed, the impact of gender on a person’s experience and response to trauma should be understood and services should be adapted to be more appropriate for women who have experienced street sex work. The group are now planning for the census to be
14
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
done annually. We have supported a Bridging Gaps member to join this group and plan to recruit another member to ensure that their expertise shapes this strategic approach.
One25 cultivates relationships nationwide so we can introduce new ways of working into Bristol and welcomes shadowing from partners across the UK. This year our CEO has linked up with Basis (street sex work charity in Leeds) and Leeds City Council to learn about a wholesystems approach to sex work in the city which is an example of best practice in the UK. This has highlighted that our local systems are not set up to work collaboratively and local strategies do not recognise the needs of women involved in street sex work. In response we are exploring ways to bring opportunities for solutions to the system. This currently involves working to support better information sharing between the Police and the local authority to provide a clearer evidence base to encourage action.
We were pleased to support and encourage women to input into a Health Needs Assessment of street sex workers which has been undertaken by Public Health in Bristol. The results are yet to be published but we know that there is commitment from them to take forwards recommendations in the assessment. One recommendation was to ensure that organisations are sharing data on the women’s health needs and interventions. One25 are looking to achieve this by securing more data from BrisDoc to understand more about the referrals made from our health hub and what health outcomes are achieved for women after they are referred. Another is to make sure that Public Health are notified of deaths and that there is a ‘street sex work’ code so that these deaths are clearly recorded. We hope that this will provide a strong basis to develop services which better support the women.
We are particularly involved in work around domestic abuse, sexual violence, and women’s safety. Our CEO sits on the Multi-Agency Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Delivery Group, the Domestic Homicide Review panel (to decide collectively if there should be a statutory review into a death related to domestic abuse) and Safeguarding Adults Review panel (to decide collectively if there should be a statutory review into a death or a case of serious harm). We also convene the monthly Bristol Sexual Violence Forum, which continues to bring 14 agencies together to help catch our city’s most vulnerable from falling through the cracks of service provision.
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting
15
ONE25 LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
Independent auditor’s report to the members of One25 Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of One25 (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

ONE25 LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made;
19
ONE25 LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit; or
-
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out in the trustees’ report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The procedures we carried out and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
(1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of non-compliance.
(2) We reviewed the charity’s policies and procedures in relation to:
20
ONE25 LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ONE25 LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
-
Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.
(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.
(4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.
(5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
(6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.
(7) We assessed the risk of fraud through management override of controls and carried out procedures to address this risk. Our procedures included:
-
Testing the appropriateness of journal entries;
-
Assessing judgements and accounting estimates for potential bias;
-
Reviewing related party transactions; and
-
Testing transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

1 Accounting policies
-
a) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 and the Companies Act 2006. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. The trustees have considered the impact of this issue on the charity’s current and future financial position. As the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £1,248,927, a cash balance of £1,377,886 and has already secured significant funding in 25/26, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient cash reserves to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved.
-
b) The charity is a public benefit entity.
-
c) Income from donations is included in income when it is receivable, except as follows: I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is held in a designated reserve until those periods; II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.
-
d) For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
-
e) Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. All material grants are disclosed in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice.
-
f) Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
-
g) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. It includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
-
h) Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
-
i) Costs of generating funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes, i.e. attracting grants and donations, fundraising activities and events.
-
j) Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
k) Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity's activities. Support and governance costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of staff numbers or usage of floor area (for premises costs).

- l) Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
| asset as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Freehold Property | 2% per annum on a straight line basis |
| Equipment | 25% per annum on a straight line basis |
| Furniture and fittings | 25% per annum on a straight line basis |
| Motor vehicles | 25% per annum on a straight line basis |
Repairs and maintenance to One25 premises are only capitalised if they are additions or improvements; fixed assets under £1,000 are written off in the year of acquisition.
-
m) Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
-
n) Current asset investments consist of cash held on deposit in interest bearing accounts. Such investments are measured at their fair value. All funds held with Flagstone are classified as current asset investments as they are held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term commitments.
-
o) Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, call deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
-
p) Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
-
q) The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
-
r) The charity has arranged a defined contribution scheme for its staff. Pension costs charged in the SOFA represent the contributions payable by the charity in the period.
-
s) Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.
-
t) Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds raised for particular restricted purposes. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
-
u) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
Depreciation
As described in note 1 l) to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.

Purpose of restricted funds:
Casework support - One25's specialist caseworkers provide individual support to help women make positive changes; they meet women at times and places that suit them and help them identify and make the changes that they want e.g. finding a safe place to live or getting drug treatment for their addiction.
The Health Hub, is a safe, homely place where service users can access health care, along with practical and emotional support.
One25's outreach service is a van that goes out 7 nights a week and is often where women first meet and engage with One25.
The core costs fund is restricted funding for organisation central costs.
140 building fund - these funds were donated to enable One25 to purchase and adapt 140 Grosvenor Road. The buildings net book value is £218,400; because of the restrictions attached to the donation it is held as a restricted asset.
