Five members of staff at a Leeds-based charity that has supported local women for over three decades are to take on a gruelling 100km walk around the city to raise awareness and funds.
The team from Women's Health Matters will walk the circumference of the city over Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week and are aiming to raise £10,000 for their efforts. This amount will then be match funded by the Big Give, resulting in a potential total of £20,000.
The charity is a group work specialist that helps women from across the Leeds area and offers projects to help women experiencing domestic abuse, women seeking asylum, women with learning disabilities, women whose children live elsewhere and women with complex needs or mental health and wellbeing needs.
