Gail spoke about how Manchester Women\u2019s Aid merged with the Pankhurst Trust\u00a0last year and the work that is done there. She told us about the services offered to support women\u00a0both at the Pankhurst centre and in the refuges and about the current financial problems of running\u00a0these services. Women\u2019s Aid are campaigning to make the use of coercion and control criminalised\u00a0and have a strategy to move away from having to rely on local authority funding.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a presentation by Martin Smedley, CEO of the charity Act4Africa, and member\u00a0Barbara Blaber who asked if the club would propose the charity\u2019s HEAL (Health, Empowerment\u00a0and Livelihoods for women in Malawi) project as SIGBI\u2019s next Quadrennial project. Members voted\u00a0unanimously in support of this, and the bid will be submitted as long as the agreement of the South\u00a0Lancashire region can be secured.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/113c94e97d8321c525136968ecc67ed4_400x400.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-376 \" src=\"\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/113c94e97d8321c525136968ecc67ed4_400x400-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"113c94e97d8321c525136968ecc67ed4_400x400\" width=\"86\" height=\"86\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/113c94e97d8321c525136968ecc67ed4_400x400-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/113c94e97d8321c525136968ecc67ed4_400x400-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/113c94e97d8321c525136968ecc67ed4_400x400.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 86px) 100vw, 86px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/PANKHURST-LOGO-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-377 \" src=\"\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/PANKHURST-LOGO-copy-300x147.jpg\" alt=\"PANKHURST-LOGO-copy\" width=\"192\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/PANKHURST-LOGO-copy-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/PANKHURST-LOGO-copy.jpg 591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/WA-Logo-347x145.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-378 \" src=\"\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/WA-Logo-347x145-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"WA Logo 347x145\" width=\"173\" height=\"72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/WA-Logo-347x145-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2015\/01\/WA-Logo-347x145.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Stella welcomed Gail Heath, CEO of Manchester Women\u2019s Aid, as our speaker at the\u00a0January&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":272,"featured_media":375,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[49,52,50,51,12,48],"class_list":["post-374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","tag-act4africa","tag-empowerment-livelihoods-for-women-in-malawi","tag-heal","tag-health","tag-pankhurst-centre","tag-womens-aid"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>January Speaker Meeting | News | Blog | Events | SI Manchester<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Manchester : Blog &amp; News : January Speaker Meeting : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Manchester .
