Women’s Night Safe Space Big Give Campaign 📢 Women Friendly Leeds are fundraising to save the Women's Night Safe Space night bus from closure, and they need your support! This bus operates in Leeds city centre and supports women if they feel unsafe, unwell, vulnerable, or unsettled for any reason, in partnership with Safer Leeds. 🚌 Ed Herring, Operations Manager, commented on the importance of this service, saying that it is "vital to the night-time economy, and we need to support this initiative. Our security teams are aware of the risks to alone or vulnerable females, and sometimes the simplest thing like a flat phone battery, no access to transport home, or just having nobody to talk to can lead to much bigger issues and risks. Leeds women’s safe space are a warm, friendly, and welcoming face to people at their most vulnerable time." Any donations made from now until 12:00 on the 17th of October will be match-funded by The Big Give, meaning your donation will make twice the impact! 👏 🔗 Link in comments to find out more about the Women's Night Safe Space in Leeds, and how to donate. #SaveTheBus #WomenFriendlyLeeds #WomensNightSafeSpace

Tomorrow, Peter Harrison sets out on his toughest endurance challenge yet: The Manchester Backyard Ultra Race. 💛 This is all in aid of a fantastic but small charity, CancerCare North Lancashire and South Cumbria, who really do need the extra funds. 🏃♂️ He needs to run 4.167 miles on the hour, every hour, for as many hours as possible. 🥇 The race has only one winner, the last one standing, and everyone else gets a DNF (Did Not Finish). Thank you to all our corporate sponsors that have already donated, and for anyone who would like to donate, the JustGiving link is in the comments. 🫶  For those interested, Peter will be vlogging his experience from his LinkedIn page on the hour, every hour, from 12:00 tomorrow... Get ready to see some questionable fancy dress! 📢 Any encouragement will be read out by his support team and really appreciated by Peter. #Fundraising #UltraRunning #ManchesterBusiness
