When Meghan and Harry visited us in 2019, the Duchess wrote beautiful affirmations on bananas to go out on our van that night. Over the last few years, a few of us on the staff team have been dressing as bananas for 125 hours to raise vital funds for One25. We’ve found it be rather fruitful (pun intended). With a sign around our necks saying ‘Ask me why I’m a banana’ and a QR code linking people directly to our fundraising page, we've shared how we work towards a vision where all women feel safe, loved and can thrive.

So far we’ve raised over £8,500 between us! And this year we’re inviting you to join us. For 125 hours or just 1 day - whatever you can manage. Will you Go Bananas!?

 

From 12pm on 10 May until 5pm on 15 May (or anytime within that 125 hours) will you go about your life dressed as a banana and join us in this fruity fundraiser? Or if you can’t wear a banana suit but still want to join in, how about holding a banana themed quiz, bingo night or bake sale? Click the link below for more ideas and to sign up.

If you have any questions or feedback don't hesitate to get in touch.
 
Wishing you love, peace and bananas,
 
Lu and the One25 team.
