One of the charities President of Soroptimist International of Cannock & District Lynne Tuckley has chosen to support this year is St Giles Hospice; she has asked Cannock Friends of St Giles to be involved in events and all monies raised for the Hospice will be donated through the Friends’ group.
A well attended coffee morning was held at the home of Soroptimist Jenny Holmes: there was a bring & buy stall; a raffle; scarves and Christmas cards were on sale -and of course, delicious homemade cakes and scones to enjoy! The weather was kind and people were able to enjoy sitting out in the garden to enjoy their coffee and cakes. Members, friends and neighbours went along as did Amanda Milling MP who is a great supporter of SI and of St Giles. There was a super atmosphere and a great buzz of conversation the whole time and added to that a fabulous amount of £500.00 was raised!
The money will be used to benefit patients and their families at a time of very great need in their lives. Many services are provided by the Hospice to support adults and children through difficult times.
