In England and Wales, 1 in every 12 women will be a victim of violence. Across the UK, a third of women are missing their cervical screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farah Akhtar, Health Inequalities Lead at Foundry Primary Care Network said: \u201cThe funding provided by Sheffield Hospitals Charity has been instrumental in supporting some of our most vulnerable patients who face significant financial and transport barriers to accessing secondary care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy covering essential travel costs, such as bus fares, the grant has enabled patients and their families, many living with long-term conditions or financial hardship, to attend vital hospital appointments.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NLWB-wristband-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69686\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The handmade flowers were made by supporters and were given out outside Sheffield City Hall.
