We were delighted to welcome Major Adrian Stringer to speak at our meeting. He was able to tell us about the wide number of projects that that they support and actively work on:
Accomodation for victims of domestic violence
Youth services for disaffected young people
Practical and emotional support for victims of trafficking
Community language classes for non English speakers
Hostels for homeless
Employment+ support for young jobless
Strengthening of family relationships with those who have left home through conflict
Employ over 300 people
Many of these are areas of work for Soroptimists and we asked if we could have a visit from the lead of one of the projects for a more detailed account. This has been agreed and will be on the calendar next year.
