Higher Access helps White Ribbon Campaign

Bury-based Higher Access helped Bury Metropolitan Borough Council erect a White Ribbon banner on the clock tower in the Town Hall gardens. The Teupen Leo 23GT was needed to scale a flight of steps leading up to the tower and then reach to the top its rim.

The tracked machine was needed to get up steps

The WRC is the largest male organised effort to end men's violence against women. It relies on volunteer support and financial contributions from individuals and organisations.

The campaign started in Canada In 1991 when a handful of men spoke out against violence against women. There are now White Ribbon Campaigns operating in many countries around the world.
