Several club members went to Fallowlees Farm to join with West End Women and Girls centre and their supporters to celebrate International Women’s Day. There were approximately 70 people there including guests, Jane Percy, Duchess of Northumberland and Dame Margaret Barbour, DBE, DL
As part of the celebrations, awards were made by the Duchess of Northumberland and Dame Margaret Barbour to: one volunteer who had been a Domestic Violence Champion who had attended the United Nations to talk about her work; another who was the first WEWG;s volunteer in 1981; and a young girl who the fifth generation of her family involved in work with WEWG.
Whilst there members took the opportunity to see the sheep and hives that were the subject of previous posts and some of the trees we had planted in the past including President Pam’s plum tree. Members were particularly pleased to see the jars of honey that had been produced in the hives we had provided.
Members thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and refreshments available in the barn and look forward to our future collaboration with West End Women and Girls Centre,
