Far from the League of Friends indispensable coffee shops which effuse hospitality and for which the organisation is known, Zoe explained the Charity\u2019s growth and expansion into providing supportive housing for individuals who are battling mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>The Charity, which was run solely by dedicated volunteers until 1996, now owns several properties in the Stafford area, recently purchasing their first in Cannock. Stafford and Cannock League of Hospital Friends work tirelessly to offer furnished, modern housing to those in need. They help to support vulnerable members of society by providing a tailored support service to aid recovery and beat addiction. Currently the League house forty three tenants.<\/p>\n<p>With a growing increase in demand, the Charity has ambitious plans to increase the number of one-bedroom properties that they own and work alongside veterans. Alongside this, the Friends also remain committed to helping hospitalised patients by continually working to fundraise for improvement projects, such as the previous renovation of the Summerhouse at Cannock Chase Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>When she gave the vote of thanks Carole Holdcroft presented Zoe with a donation towards the work of the charity.<a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2019\/01\/st-giles-speaker.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1264\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2019\/01\/st-giles-speaker-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2019\/01\/st-giles-speaker-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2019\/01\/st-giles-speaker-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2019\/01\/st-giles-speaker-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2019\/01\/st-giles-speaker.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photograph L \u2013 R Zoe Pyatt, President June Bould, Soroptimist Carole Holdcroft<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President, June Bould, was delighted to welcome Zoe Pyatt, Housing Manager at Stafford and Cannock&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Stafford and Cannock League of Hospital Friends | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : Stafford and Cannock League of Hospital Friends : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
