*Broxtowe Borough Council White Ribbon Reaccreditation*
White Ribbon logo
Broxtowe Borough Council has successfully been reaccredited by White Ribbon UK as an officially recognised organisation for the next 3 years.
The White Ribbon campaign is a national project that aims to work with local government, private businesses and the public to raise awareness of and work towards ending violence against women and girls. Over the last 3 years of our accreditation we have worked to spread the message of the campaign across the Borough and beyond.
We have helped deliver educational sessions for children and adults on subjects surrounding domestic abuse, encouraged employees, partners and members of the public to sign as ambassadors and champions of the White Ribbon cause and spearheaded numerous initiatives to help safeguard women and girls in our area from violence.
