This may be a temporary crisis such as an acrimonious divorce, bereavement, illness etc or it could be something more long term such as mental health issues, self-harming, domestic violence and abuse, addiction or financial difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>The aims for all of the beneficiaries is to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>provide a friendly and loving environment where women feel safe and protected<\/li>\n<li>give women the freedom to be themselves<\/li>\n<li>give women space to heal and grow<\/li>\n<li>give\u00a0<strong>FREE<\/strong>\u00a0support in a non-judgmental surrounding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On a secondary level the project supports the local community at a cafe which they operate out of and through various projects they can reach the homeless, lonely, elderly and isolated. These projects are for both men and women and include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elderly lunch club every Tuesday \u2013 2 course set meal for \u00a35<\/li>\n<li>Chatty Tables every Wednesday 10:30-11:30am for anyone who would like to meet new people and make friends<\/li>\n<li>Art Therapy Course \u2013 every Friday (biweekly) mainly aimed at people with mental health issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The theory behind the use of the image of the Water Lily is because they sit on very strong leaves that support the flower.\u00a0 They don\u2019t look much when they are closed, but when they are provided with a good and healthy environment and space, they open up and display their beauty.\u00a0 They need good conditions in which to flourish and reach their full potential and this is what the project hopes to provide for the women who come to the Water Lily Project.<\/p>\n<p>Members collected and donated suitable items in\u00a0 a hamper for the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; SI Bournemouth members welcomed Liz Carter, Project Manager at the\u00a0Water Lily Project\u00a0to their September&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":362,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,3,1],"tags":[12,22],"class_list":["post-4525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-how-we-inspire-action-and-transform-lives","category-latest-news-from-our-fantastic-club","category-uncategorized","tag-how-we-inspire-action-and-transform-lives","tag-latest-news-from-our-fantastic-club"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Very Strong Leaves Supporting The Flower \u2013 The Water Lily Project | News | Blog | Events | SI Bournemouth<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Bournemouth : Blog &amp; News : Very Strong Leaves Supporting The Flower \u2013 The Water Lily Project : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Bournemouth .
