Behind Bras Campaign

'Behind Bras' was started by the High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Diane Hawkins, after a visit to Styal Prison. She discovered that some female prisoners do not have the support of family to bring in basic needs such as a change in underwear.

After hearing that some female prisoners only have one change of underwear, Club members decided to support the campaign by using Club funds to purchase supplies and also by donating extra items from their own pockets.
