The Big Story
Members of SI Heswall have taken part in The Big Story fundraising event to support the SIGBI project Empowering Girls in Nepal. This three-year project will be raising vital funds to make a real and sustainable difference to the lives of vulnerable and trafficked girls in Nepal. SIGBI’s partner is ChoraChori whose mission is to rescue Nepalese children from abusive situations in Nepal and India, manage their trauma and reintegrate them, where possible, with their families and communities. This project not only delivers against our Soroptimist goals but also aligns with 7 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and is an excellent example of working in positive partnerships.
Pop-up shop opens
‘Second Chance’, our pop-up charity shop, has been launched and will run through the summer. Held in Janice’s garden it had an amazing first day and raised over £100 in donations. Social distancing was maintained, including in the coffee shop. The proceeds will support the Presidents’ charities this year – Action with Young Carers Wirral and Wirral Fund for Children with Special Needs.
