Andrew has raised over £1,000 for The Brain Charity

The Disabled Workers Group currently meet every 6-8 weeks
The regions Disabled Workers Group held their first event on Microsoft Teams this week. The event saw some of our disabled activists sharing their experiences in work, while travelling and also had some practical guidance around benefit advice.
It’s no longer unusual to see a woman bus driver, firefighter or engineer turn up at your house to repair an electrical fault.
During the month of March we celebrated Women’s History Month with some of our regional activists taking part in various events both locally and nationally. The North West & Iish region held an International Women’s Day event, there was TUC Women’s Conference and various national intersectional womens events have also taken place.
Co-Chair of (JBG?) Alan Mercel-Sanca says, “We feel privileged when athletes from across the globe join our campaign and are excited at having Phuti on board.”
As LGBT History Month 2020 kicks off, here at JUST A BALL GAME? (JBG?) we are happy to announce that the only ‘out’ gay South African full time footballer, Makapanstad Romans’ goalkeeper Phuti Lekoloane joins us as a patron.
Most men are our allies and would welcome a positive move that would prevent us from being victims, calling out acts of misogyny where they see it.
Almost all women, know a woman who has been raped or sexually assaulted but how many men know a rapist/attacker? Could this be due to the fact that many are not reported by the victim, for fear of blame?
Data from the UN shows that 97% of young women have been sexually harassed.
