SI Cannock & District member Jenny Holmes held a Friendship coffee morning with a Bring and Buy stall to raise funds for the Club’s chosen charities for this, their Diamond Anniversary year. Many club members and friends went along and as well as enjoying coffee and home made cakes and pastries they raised a little over £120.00 for the Pathway Project and Staffordshire Women’s Aid. This will be added to funds raised throughout the year and cheques will be presented nearer to the AGM in April.
At the end of January some members will be spending time at South Staffordshire College, Cannock Campus to raise awareness about many issues which affect women and girls. Amongst the issues being raised will be Domestic Violence –there will be information available from both organisations mentioned above. They will also be highlighting the symptoms of endometriosis and will have information available about trafficking and child sexual exploitation.
