Kyra’s founder Yvonne Copley has been chosen as one of the 2021 Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival’s Community Heroes. Nominated by Kyra for her amazing work in keeping Kyra going during the first pandemic lockdown, Yvonne made sure that women were supported by the charity online and by phone during that very stressful and scary time. She even started a new project, encouraging women to write about their experience of lockdown isolation: members’ poems and artwork from this project has now been published by the charity as the Kyra Covid Capsule. Everyone at Kyra will be cheering for her on Saturday at the Ebor races to see if her nominated horse can win the race and deliver a donation to Kyra.
