When seeing someone or something unjust, unfair or disadvantaged it’s easy to ponder “why doesn’t someone do something about that?” We we are all someone. By competing in Race Across Lancashire, raising funds for Lancashire Women perhaps we can be two people that make a difference by doing, something . . .

Who are the Hilldale Hillbillies? - 2025 sees the end of an era and sale of our family home of 60 years in Hilldale, Parbold. Wendy being one of its first 1960s occupants and Abi one of its last moving out only weeks ago.

Wendy - I’ve been a “Race Across The World” fan since it first came onto our screens in 2018. I retired this year, next year I turn 60 - eek! Not wanting to over do it - this is one of my "six things before I’m sixty”. My BBC application didn't work out then Race Across Lancashire came into my eyeline – fantastic this was meant to be . . .

Why Lancashire Women? - Lancashire Women support over 6,000 individuals each year across Lancashire, offering a safe space for women to seek support and access a wide range of FREE services, including Mental Health & Wellbeing, Employment Support, Money, Debt & Energy Advice, and Justice & Safety.
