To mark International Women’s Day SI Lichfield & District will be hosting three events to support the Oxfam Mother Appeal. The ethos behind the appeal is that when we lift a mother she will not only lift herself but also her family and her community, generation after generation. Every pound raised by this appeal will be match funded by the UK Government.
The first event will be a coffee and cake sale morning, followed by a supper evening with raffle. Both of these events will be hosted by a member of SI Lichfield & District in their respective homes.
The third event is a stall at a local school, (Norton Canes High School) where goods handmade or donated by club members will be on sale during the lunch break for pupils to purchase as Mothers Day presents at pocket money prices (50p – £2.00). Club members have sewn, knitted or crocheted suitable gifts whilst others have donated chocolates and costume jewellery. SI Lichfield hopes to raise a total of £500.00 from these events. This will be sent to Oxfam for their Mother Appeal and when match funded will amount to £1,000.00 towards this project.
