Women Matta is a charity that supports women affected by the criminal justice system and those at risk and has been one of our projects for several years.
We were asked to provide diaries to be included in Christmas gift packs for the charity’s service users and were quickly able to collect over 200. These were delivered, together with ASDA vouchers, underwear, toiletries and other items in good time for Christmas,
Although not directly connected with Women Matta, we also received an appeal from Diane Hawkins, High Sheriff of Greater Manchester. She had visited Styal Prison and was horrified to find that many of the women had only one set of underwear. We were happy to join other clubs in the South Lancashire region by donating many of the items needed.
