Members and their friends knitted jumpers, hats and vests for the Kori project an ongoing programme to send items to Africa and keep new born babies warm and protected.  As always Soroptimists helping to educate, enable and empower women and girls throughout the world.

On Monday 3 Starter Bags were delivered to ‘The Next Chapter’ our local Colchester Women’s Refuge. These bags contain all the essential items you would need if you are moving out of the refuge into a new home.  They are extremely well received as you can see from the comments below: We hand out the bags to our clients as they leave and move on to the Next Chapter of their lives. We had a lady leave the refuge on Monday, her response when given the bag was : ‘Someone has donated this to me, they are all angels’ Previous feedback has been when I have handed these out include: ‘How did they know it was all the things I would have brought’ ‘Oh my goodness, they have thought of everything’ We absolutely love receiving these bags and giving them to our ladies.
