Thanks to the generosity of a grant of £500 from Councillor Patrick Corfield through the Staffordshire Local Community Fund, Cannock Soroptimists are able to offer a free event in Cannock at St Luke’s Church Centre on Saturday March 2nd.
Councillor Corfield has supported Soroptimists in their work to help local women and girls and in raising public awareness of many issues which affect them.
Everyone is invited to the event on March 2nd which is linked with International Women’s Day. It will provide information on many services provided locally to women and will promote local business women. The event is open to the public, it will be completely free of charge, with tea, coffee and biscuits offered whilst visitors have the opportunity to obtain information, indulge in a free hand massage from local mobile nail technician Emma J, get ideas for gift wrapping and even purchase small items such as cakes and cards. Free face painting will be offered for children.
Representatives from Pathway, the refuge for women victims of Domestic Violence will be present as will representatives from the local Food Bank. They will be happy to give any information and Cannock Soroptimists ask any members of the public who wish to, to bring along donations of goods for these organisations: shampoo, soap, toothpaste or other toiletries for Pathway, tins or packets of food for the Food Bank.
So please come along and enjoy a cup of coffee anytime between 10.00am and 12.30pm – Soroptimists and all other participants will be delighted to see you!
If you think that your organisation has something to offer the women of our area or you are a local business woman and you are interested in being involved, please contact Soroptimist Ann Rotchell on 01543 570172.
