Wellbeing Champions supporting Orange Wolves

The Wellbeing Champions are supporting the Orange Wolverhampton campaign - saying 'NO' to violence against women and girls. 

Orange Wolverhampton is our city's contribution to the United Nations’ annual Orange The World campaign - 16 days of action to end violence against women and girls (VAWG) between 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) and 10 December (UN Human Rights Day).
