The Reverend Cathy Jones, Dean of Bangor Cathedral explained her connection as a club Soroptimist previously. She thanked members for their part in adding 500 + poppies to the over 24,000 knitted poppies which had formed an amazing installation at Bangor Cathedral. Poppies had been received from all over the world and created a great impact in many ways such as bringing the community together, encouraging emotional responses and as an artistic work addressing mental health and outreaching into society.
