On 24 August, 10 Medway members supported SI Maidstone in a bra collection and attended their BRA-B-Q at President Carol\u2019s home. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather and enjoy the BBQ sitting out in the Kent countryside.<\/p>\n
This was part of SI Maidstone\u2019s \u201960 for 60\u2032 celebrations in aid of \u2018Smalls for All\u2019 which is a Scottish charity which collects and distributes underwear to help women and children in Africa. Also as a fundraiser for Dandelion Time, a local charity that supports young people and families affected by trauma and abuse.<\/p>\n
More than 360 bras were collected in total with the contribution from the efforts of SI Medway members and their friends being in excess of 200 bras. It was amazing to see them all displayed on the day \u2013 see photo.<\/p>\n
One of Medway\u2019s Soroptimisters volunteered to take responsibility for cooking on the BBQ. After everyone tucked into the barbequed meats we were able to enjoy one of the many delicious desserts that had been prepared by Medway members.<\/p>\n
It was a successful and enjoyable event with both Soroptimist clubs working together to benefit others. A total of \u00a3230 was raised from donations and presented to Dandelion Time to support their valuable work.<\/p>\n
