Our Streets Now @OurStreetsNow·

R4 announced that the VAWG strategy is out this week.

This is the strategy that hundreds of thousands of us shared our stories of abuse to. We firmly hope that the Gov will listen to the women, girls & ppl who wrote in with a clear message:

Harassment is a #CrimeNotCompliment

Blagrave Founder

Herbert and Peter Blagrave were the founders of the Trust and resided in the counties where we work. Herbert Blagrave was a great sporting man. He was well known in horse racing circles training 350 winners in a 50 year career; was the Director of Southampton football club when they won the FA Cup in 1976 and played cricket for Gloucestershire. There are no surviving Blagrave family members.
