Thank you to the Northamptonshire OPFCC for braving the elements yesterday to officially welcome us to the Northamptonshire Women’s Charter. We’re proud to be part of it.

The Commissioner met with Northamptonshire Sport this week to welcome them as one of the latest organisations to sign the Women’s Charter.

Matthew Peleszok, Strategic Lead - Inequalities at Northamptonshire Sport, said: "Through our work across Northamptonshire, we know that women and girls face a range of barriers to being active, including concerns around safety, confidence and feeling welcome in certain environments.

"We’re also proud of the women across our organisation and the contribution they make to communities and projects throughout Northamptonshire.

"Signing up to the Charter reflects our commitment to keep listening, working with partners, and helping create safer, more inclusive spaces across sport and physical activity.”

If your organisation wants to join the 95 others already part of this growing campaign, head to our website https://orlo.uk/LopRr

When graffiti appeared on signs across at Northampton Bike Park recently, it highlighted something many visitors don't see.

Behind the scenes, volunteers help care for the park throughout the year, supporting maintenance, improvements and events that help keep it safe and welcoming for everyone. 🚲❤

This National Volunteers' Week, we're saying thank you to the people who give their time to support the Bike Park and the community that uses it.
