President’s Message

2023-24

First of all I would like to thank you all for offering me the privilege of becoming your President for this next year.

I would like to put forward my Charity Support for Halton Haven Hospice, I’m aware that we have supported them in the past but this is a charity dear to my heart as my daughter received the best care in a hospice and during our time there as a family I was surprised to hear that all hospices are only part funded by the government and therefore they need all the fund raising support that we are able to give.

Fundraising is vital and during my year as President I hope we can all work together with ideas and actions to make this a bumper year and as I have learnt if all else fails hold a raffle!

In consultation with Linda Redhead for PAC, I would like to put forward a charity run locally by Kelly called ‘Take a walk in their shoes’. Kelly works as a Housing Support Office and runs this charity from home in her own time providing local families in need with food parcels and essential items they need. I will invite Kelly to speak to us at a business meeting to provide further information.

Finally Widnes Soroptimist had their inaugural meeting in February 1944. The charter followed in July making 80 years of service. This needs celebrating so we will look at what we can do as a group to acknowledge this.
