141 Challenge
06 June 2022
Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) joined The Magdalene Group on last Monday's walk through the city to raise awareness of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in the county and beyond. PCC Giles Orpen-Smellie was keen to walk with Suzi & the team as VAWG is one of his priorities in his new Police, Crime and Community Safety Plan. “It was a pleasure to take part in such a worthy event, not only to get to know those involved in the charity and hear about their vital work, but to help spread the message that violence against women and girls will not be tolerated in Norfolk,” said Giles.
