Quickline has teamed up with charity Run With It in a three-year partnership that will help fund its expansion south of the Humber, alongside enrichment days to boost key work skills for young people.
TalkTalk’s Future Fibre Fund has made an £800 donation to the Joanna Project, a Leeds-based charity that helps women facing complex disadvantages, to help it purchase new technology for its Support Workers.
The charity improves the wellbeing of women by providing sanctuary for those involved, or at risk of being, in sex work.
Through practical and emotional support, as well as befriending and mentoring, Joanna Project aims to help women in difficult circumstances create a new life.
TalkTalk’s Future Fibre Fund has donated a total of £5,000 to women-led and founded charities across Leeds and Greater Manchester to help them continue their work.
Lucy Thomas, Corporate Affairs Director at TalkTalk, said: “The Joanna Project stood out for its invaluable support of women in challenging situations, and we’re pleased to be able to help them continue this work.”
