President Chris led the three hours of service yesterday evening as Pathway prepare for their fashion event this evening. Joined by Anita, Margaret, Liz, Maggie and Dishi, clothes, handbags, shoes, jewellery and scarves have been displayed for sale.
As Federation has asked of us, this has been an empowering and enabling project as Pathway have been supported in planning and managing the event for themselves.
Tonight, six Lichfield Soroptimists have bought tickets to attend. Our role though will be ‘housekeeping’ – looking after clothes that need returning to rails etc. We shall be like mother hens watching over the staff and volunteers managing the evening and raising much need funds to employ a playworker. This will be the person who will help the children to mend after the violence that they have witnessed in the family homes. The innocent victims.
