Members of the club were hard at work to help make Christmas a happier time for women who are in refuge this Christmas. We prepared 15 food bags each containing a large box of biscuits, Christmas pudding, mince pies , carton of custard and a stollen. Our Bangor branch of Women’s Aid would be distributing them to their families in need in time for the celebrations. We also made up 30 bags containing basic essential toiletry items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, sanitary wear, towels and flannels. Women often arrive at the refuge with nothing as they escape from an abusive situation so these bags are a godsend.
