‘Walking group for women makes us feel safer’
The organiser of a Leicestershire walking group set up specifically to make women feel safer on dark evenings has said it is thriving.
Katie Hopkinson, who set up Safety In Numbers last year, said: "I thought this group would... give a safe space for women to get out there."
The walkers, who meet weekly in the Woodhouse Eaves area, hope what started as an idea on social media will expand into a network of similar walking groups.
