TOGETHER
HUB ALREADY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN HULL
Last week the Safer Hull Paragon hub opened to the public, offering a safe space for those in need and hosting a variety of charities that offer support to the local community.
In its first few days the hub has hosted so many great charities including Vulnerable Exploited Missing Trafficked (VEMT) and the Railway Children. Representatives from BTP have also been manning the hub, including our own Steve O’Callaghan, BTP Liaison Officer.
The space has already been helping to keep the community safe, with members of the public leading officers to a vulnerable woman who was then signposted to an agency that could help her, and the space also being used by BTP to take a witness statement.
We will also soon be seeing the Warren Project in the hub, a youth intervention charity offering free support, guidance and counselling to those aged between 14-25 in the Hull area.
TAKING ON THE GREAT NORTH RUN
Simon Rashleigh, Airport Conductor, will be taking on the incredible challenge of running the Great North Run for the fourth time in September.
Simon will be running the 21km for the Christie trust, after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2019. The Christie offers world-class cancer care and treatment and is one of the most advanced cancer centres in the world, treating over 60,000 people a year.
To support Simon and help an amazing charity, you can donate to his JustGiving page here

DEFEATING THE 50KM ULTRA CHALLENGE TAKE PART IN THE INNOVATION CHALLENGE
Based on feedback from the ‘Listening Survey’ we want to improve engagement between frontline colleagues, managers and senior leaders. This will help us to create a better appreciation for how we all contribute to TPE, and we want your ideas on how we can tackle this. The Innovation Challenge is a chance for you to share any suggestions you have. They don’t need to be anything technical, just something unique that we haven’t tried before. You have until Friday 15 September to submit any ideas. You can take part by clicking here or by scanning the QR code right. There will be prizes for any ideas taken forward!
Back in May we shared that Josh Cunnington, On Board Service Manager, was taking part in the 50km Ultra Challenge, which involves hiking 50km around the south west coast of England.
We are so pleased to share that he completed this incredible challenge, raising £1,000 for Mind, a charity that provides support and advice for anyone facing a mental health problem. Congratulations Josh!

PET CORNER
This week we have two best friends, Fred the dog and Ardwick the cockatiel, named after the Manchester depot and the crest on his head that looks like a wick. They, alongside two other birds, are owned by Joe Dobson and Simon Rashleigh, Airport Conductors. If you think you have the most a-pawrable pet, email tpecommunications@ tpexpress.co.uk to be featured.
