Story
At Bristol University Press we practice what we preach, with staff supporting a small local charity annually. In 2021 we're raising money for Project Mama who offer birth support for displaced women in Bristol. They work with pregnant refugees, asylum-seekers, survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking and other displaced women, offering free support to women throughout pregnancy, labour and childbirth, and those first few weeks of parenthood.
This Autumn, several of us donned running vests and shoes to raise some urgently needed funds: Georgie and Andy ran the Bristol Half Marathon, and Sarah ran the Virtual London Marathon, in eight and a bit circuits of Bristol Harbour, accompanied on each loop by a Bristol University Press colleague.
