A community group that provides support and information for women's pelvic health and fertility has received a £500 grant.
Train operator Northern has selected 21 groups from across the region to receive a New Year boost, with £10,000 set to be distributed to various recipients.
The train operator asked its 7,000 employees to nominate charitable causes in their local communities.
And a £500 grant to support ongoing activity has been awarded to Positility in Harrogate.
Carolyn Watson, director of stakeholder and community engagement at Northern, said:
“These grants were all about supporting local causes across the North of England– and who better to advise us on the groups and projects that can really make a difference than our own employees, who live and work right across the length and breadth of our network.
“Worth a combined £10,000, these grants will help small, local groups deliver work in their communities that will have a real impact.”
Positility was founded by Kim Olsson, who created the company following both positive and negative experiences during her own fertility journey and experiences of others.
She’s aiming to provide information and resources that can help others have “as positive a journey as possible.”
She said:
“Throughout my journey I struggled to find easy access to reliable information, so I created this website to help others have one central resource to help them during their fertility journey.
“I also hope to help organisations become more fertility friendly and improve awareness to better recruit, retain and support the best employees for their business with my offer of professional services too.”
