Grange Soroptimists marked International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women by tying ribbons on the gates of Cartmel Priory with each ribbon representing a donation to Women’s Aid, a charity working to prevent Domestic Violence and support victims. Its not too late to get a ribbon tied on. Just go to our Just Giving page. They were joined by Rev Nick Devenish,  pupils from Cartmel Priory School, members of the public and  other Soroptimists from the North West including Regional President Val Moss.

There are 16 Days of Activism organised by the United Nations with buildings all over the world lit up in Orange  in solidarity with the campaign.

In South Cumbria Cartmel Priory and Barrow Town Hall will be lit for the 16 days and the Hoad in Ulverston only 25th Nov and 10th Dec.

We are delighted to have raised approximately £1,500 for Women’s Aid if Gift Aid included.
