SI Scarborough, Malton and District
Club information
SI Scarborough, Malton and District focus on Programme Action work locally, nationally ad internationally. We are a small but lively group of women from a wide variety of backgrounds, enjoying fun and friendship while striving to make a difference to the lives of women and girls.
When and where we meet
We meet monthly, usually in the comfortable village hall in Ganton which is easily accessible from the A64. In January and February we meet on Zoom. Contact Angela Edwards [email protected] for details if you would like to come along.
Club programme
We have a varied programme often including speakers. We focus on our projects which range from providing our local food bank with sanitary products to funding a project in Ghana to teach school girls to make reusable pads to enable them to attend school.
Current projects
We work locally and internationally. Current projects include supporting the local food banks and Carers Plus social and support groups. We also enjoy knitting blankets for the Hamlin Fistula hospital in Ethiopia.
Blankets for the Hamlin Fistula Hospital
Many women in Ethiopia experience devastating injuries as a result of childbirth. The hospital was founded to treat these women, providing each woman with a hand knitted blanket .
Supporting foodbanks
We are aware that food bank clients with families of teenage girls or disabled children find it difficult to provide for physical needs. We regularly donate sanitary products, toiletries and nappies to help with this.
Supporting Carers Plus
Carer’s Plus do excellent work supporting carers both of SEND and disabled young people and also those caring lts in their own homes. We provide refreshments and chat to enable the professional leaders to offer one to one help to individuals.
