Region Meeting Cheshire North Wales & Wirral in Chester<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Region Meeting 20th May 2023 saw Soroptimists from our region arriving early at the Queens Hotel, Chester. \u00a0 <\/span>Many were carrying bags of sanitary products while others were weighed down by display boards, laptops and other items for their Barbara Dixon Award displays.<\/p>\n

There was a real buzz in the room as clubs set up their displays. \u00a0 <\/span>8 clubs entered – Anglesey, Bebington, Chester, Heswall, Llandudno, Nantwich & District, Northwich & District and Rhyl & District. \u00a0 <\/span>Judging was to take place at lunchtime by Alan Dixon and Lindsey Green.<\/p>\n

Our first speaker was Adam Norton a police officer with the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit. \u00a0 <\/span>He gave an excellent talk on how \u201cCounty Lines\u201d worked, explaining how vulnerable individuals were intimidated and eventually became victims of violence and exploitation. \u00a0 <\/span>It is believed that approximately 46,000 children are in gangs. \u00a0 <\/span>A lot of drugs come out of the Merseyside region.<\/p>\n

There was a brief update on micro loans, but there was nothing to report on friendship links.<\/p>\n

For the President\u2019s Appeal: The Big Help Out, a collection was made of period products from the 13 clubs across our region and brought to the Queens Hotel, Chester, where we formed a \u2018mountain\u2019 of 736 packets which will now be delivered to the food banks in our region. \u00a0 <\/span>With a rise in the cost of living and crippling fuel bills, many are struggling with the basics of food and heating and as a consequence period poverty is on the increase. \u00a0 <\/span>Food will be the priority on any parent\u2019s list.\u00a0 <\/span>Sanitary wear may be considered somewhat a luxury. \u00a0 <\/span>We want to give women dignity.<\/p>\n

After lunch Lindsey Green, Director of PA, SIGBI, gave a very informative and useful talk on programme action forms and listed the Sustainable Development Goals that our forms should include.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At 2pm the result of the Barbara Dixon Award were announced. \u00a0 <\/span>In joint 3rd place were Northwich and Nantwich, 2nd place Rhyl and 1st place Llandudno. \u00a0 <\/span>Llandudno\u2019s project showed how they had supported Ukrainian refugees and how the project had expanded to help local residents as well.<\/p>\n

Kath Lewis and Penni Nicholas were asked to join the Council as Vice President and Lead of the Communications Team respectively.<\/p>\n
