This year Cannock Soroptimists again supported the Pathway Project by providing Christmas gifts such as clothing, beauty packs, toys & games for women and children who will be spending Christmas in the refuge run by the Pathway Project for women victims of domestic violence.
The donated gifts filled two cars and the gifts, together with wrapping paper and all the trimmings, were gratefully accepted by staff from Pathway. On Christmas morning the women and children will be able to open gifts specially chosen for them, knowing that they are being thought of – and hopefully this will help them a little at such an emotional time of year.
Some members of SI Cannock recently attended the Pathway AGM and were moved to hear stories from the women who are domestic violence victims and who have benefitted from the services provided by Pathway. The stories heard reiterate the need to continue to support these women & their children in any way possible.
Cannock & District Soroptimists had their usual stall at Norton Canes on Sunday 3rd December when the Community Centre held their annual Winter Fair. Club members sold reindeer food – they helped children to fill bags with food for Rudolph & his friends – as well as showcasing issues & organisations supported by Soroptimist International.
