Are you getting or gifting a mobility scooter, e-bike or e-scooter for Christmas?

Today we’re spotlighting Darren O'Brien MBE who is speaking up for women and girls.

"As a young boy, I was taught not to intervene. So I turned a blind eye and my inaction signalled to others that I condoned this unacceptable behaviour that was taking place around me. I knew that this was wrong, but the behaviour was normalised, so I felt powerless and didn’t think I could make a difference. I am older and wiser now and, unlike when I was a young man and felt powerless to help, I know there is always action I can take to support others."
