Ruth’s year off to a flying start

Ruth’s year off to a flying start

in

Ruth’s year as President really has got off to a flying start with a fantastic selection of Guest Speakers and entertainment. As our first speaker of the year we were privileged to host Holly Skyrme from the Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum.  Holly gave us a compelling talk at our meeting, not only about her job and the fantastic way girls are being encouraged into STEM related careers in Pembrokeshire but also her passion for surfing. Holly is the founder of Shaka Surf, ( https://www.shakasurfwomen.com) which is an entirely women-owned surf school, exclusively for women. The ethos is about inclusivity, encouragement and community and since establishing in 2022, it has taken off in a magnificent way. Thank you Holly, it was thoroughly enjoyable and fabulous to hear what you are doing to empower women.   Holly is seen here with our President Ruth. Our next meeting took

Christmas Gifts for local Children

Christmas Gifts for local Children

in

Like so many other parts of the Country, Pembrokeshire is blessed with a number of extremely hardworking charities.  One such charity is PATCH  (Pembrokeshire Action To Combat Hardship).  We are delighted to provide ongoing support to PATCH in the form of Christmas gifts for children (our members provide a suitable gift rather than partaking in a Secret Santa amongst members).  This year we have also given a cheque of £1700.00 to support this year’s Christmas Toy Appeal.  Each 0 – 17 old referred receives 4-5 new gifts, together with chocolates and art materials.  The gifts are supplied with wrapping paper to ensure that friends and family are part of the preparation and delivery of the gifts.       Pictured presenting a cheque for £1700.00 to PATCH                             L to R  President Julia

Each of the winners has received a Craft Set and we hope they enjoy using it to get creative all over again.
