SI Cannock members enjoyed a very festive afternoon at the Norton Canes Community Centre Christmas Fayre on 5th December. Members chatted with fayre-goers about why they love being part of SI Cannock and the work they do for charities; including local domestic violence charity The Pathways Project. At the fayre, members sold Magical Reindeer Food to support Pathways and raised a total of £45 to buy gifts for children who will be spending Christmas in a domestic violence refuge. Children who bought the Magical Reindeer Food were thrilled to be able to help children less fortunate than themselves as well as being excited at being able to provide such sustenance for Santa’s reindeer!
Service work lies at the heart of the club’s goals and they are committed to raising awareness of issues relevant to women and girls around the world – issues such as domestic violence, female genital mutilation, modern day slavery and the gynecological condition endometriosis. They also raise funds when appropriate to educate, empower and enable women and girls.
