Throughout the year Cannock Soroptimists have supported the Pathway Project by fundraising and they also provide comfort bags & household items which are appreciated by the women who have left their homes with nothing. This year’s President of S I Cannock Carole Holdcroft chose Pathway as her charity, having been involved with supporting them for 23 years.
As Christmas approaches and the members of Cannock Soroptimists prepare to buy gifts for family & friends, they do all they can to think about others less fortunate to enable them to enjoy Christmas too. Recently, members of Cannock Soroptimists generously provided 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.
Some members of SI Cannock recently attended the Pathway AGM, (it is the project’s 25th Anniversary Year). The members were deeply moved to hear harrowing stories from the women who are domestic violence victims. The stories heard reiterate the need to continue to support these women & their children in any way possible.
Anyone who would like to donate a gift can phone Cannock Soroptimists on 07971 494510 or email si.cannock@outlook.com – all gifts will be very much appreciated.
