Greeting to all my sister Soroptimists in Northern England.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Life is certainly getting busier now that members are beginning to move around the region <\/span>and meet up face-to-face. My diary for September is booked with opportunities to visit <\/span>clubs in their own localities and on their special occasions. I hope to include some <\/span>reports on these in later Newsletter editions.\u00a0<\/span> First I would like to share two happy meetings with you when donations from members in <\/span>SINE were presented to two local charities – thank you to everyone for their support to <\/span>achieve this. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"On the 2nd September, Immediate Past President Joyce Chesney was able to visit the <\/span>Butterwick Hospice Care in Stockton and present a cheque for \u00a3600 to them. This came <\/span>from the proceeds of the Regional Raffle which was drawn on 19 June 2021 at the <\/span>Regional Centennial Celebratory Event. Joyce had planned to make the Hospice the <\/span>recipient of fund raising at her own June 2020 President\u2019s Event but due to COVID <\/span>restrictions this had to be cancelled. So Joyce and I agreed to divide the total of this <\/span>year\u2019s Regional Raffle between the Hospice and the Diamond Education Grant – each <\/span>receiving \u00a3600 each. Joyce has been a volunteer at the Butterwick Hospice Care since <\/span>2009 and was delighted that this donation will be used to purchase mattresses for the <\/span>new beds in the In Patient Unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the 9th September, I joined Shirley Hallam on a visit to \u201cStreetwise\u201d in Newcastle city <\/span>centre. You may remember that when Past Regional President Shirley Hallam ( SI <\/span>Tynemouth & Whitley Bay and District ) married Peter Gould on 24 July 2021, they agreed <\/span>that there were to be no gifts ! However, they also identified two charities that were close <\/span>to their hearts – \u201cStreetwise Young Peoples Project\u201d and the RNLI, and suggested that <\/span>guests and friends could make a donation if they wished. Soroptimist friends decided to <\/span>mark the occasion and Shirley received a generous \u00a3335 that she presented to Mandy <\/span>Coppin who is the CEO of Newcastle Streetwise (on the right in the\"\" photo and a member <\/span>of SI Newcastle upon Tyne ). Mandy was thrilled to receive this financial boost as like <\/span>many other charities, they had lost revenue during the pandemic. This donation will allow <\/span>two young women to receive a course of counselling to help them through the traumas of <\/span>their unsettled lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the Regional Coffee Gathering on Saturday 4th September we were joined by a <\/span>visiting Soroptimist from S.I. Cape of Good Hope in the Republic of South Africa. <\/span>Rosemary Hickman had heard about our regular meetings from a Facebook post that had <\/span>been sent to her and was intrigued by the pet cats that appeared during the chat. <\/span>However, after introductions, we asked her about Soroptimist life in South Africa and <\/span>were amazed at her reply. Her club has about 22 members but they are involved in <\/span>between 15 to 18 projects locally. <\/span><\/p>\n

These projects ranged from :- <\/span><\/p>\n

– supporting teenage mothers, some of whom are only 10 years old, by giving support <\/span>for them to return to school and keep and care for their babies;\u00a0<\/span>
\n– providing support to a local school library where although the basics were present, <\/span>there was a need for cataloging and the services of a librarian as this was essential to <\/span>improving the low numeracy and literacy skills;<\/span>
\n– there are over 80 Refuges for victims of Domestic Violence in the area and at one local <\/span>house, Soroptimists have worked on a \u2018Serenity Garden\u2019 to give the women safe <\/span>space to relax and chat. They have also developed a sheltered workshop to give some <\/span>employment to these women. <\/span>
\n– this also produced a need for after school care for the children living with their mothers <\/span>in the refuges, so \u201cThe Home of Hope\u201d was set up where 120 children aged 2 to 12 <\/span>years can be cared for between 6.0pm and 7.0pm with a meal and supervision for their <\/span>school homework thus keeping them safe and not roaming in the unsettled and <\/span>troubled neighbourhoods. <\/span>
\n– the parents pay a small amount regularly for this care and together with some overseas <\/span>volunteers, a vegetable garden has been established where the children can get <\/span>involved in growing vegetables to be used in the meals provided for them but also to <\/span>take home to improve their family nutrition.<\/span>
\n– club members are also working with the Police and planned legislation to improve the <\/span>lives of victims of domestic violence and they recently held workshops to discuss and <\/span>examine the 3 laws which were being proposed for changes.<\/span>
\n……<\/span>we were awed at this project work being undertaken by a relatively small club <\/span>and look forward to meeting Rosemary at future Coffee mornings to hear more reports of <\/span>their very focussed activities. Why not join this now INTERNATIONAL Coffee <\/span>Gathering !! – the next date is Saturday 9th October 2021 at 10.30am?<\/span><\/p>\n

News from Kabul and Afghanistan has been a regular and high profile item in recent <\/span>weeks. I shall look forward to reading reports from Clubs with news of their support and <\/span>involvement in the re-settlement of Afghan families in the UK. Several of our Clubs have <\/span>mentioned that they are expecting families to be relocated to hotels and then their own <\/span>homes near them. Certainly there are been reports of great generosity by our own <\/span>communities to provide the essentials that these families need. <\/span>While these families clearly need our support, let us not forget those other refugees who <\/span>have also had to flee from persecution and have journeyed vast distances over a long <\/span>time to reach the U.K. by one means or another.<\/span><\/p>\n

S.I. Middlesbrough have reported on their letter writing to local Members of Parliament <\/span>on the plight of people seeking asylum who were being held in appalling conditions in <\/span>Dover. Here is an extract from their letters which vividly expressed their concerns : <\/span>\u201c In the case of women, who are likely to have suffered physical abuse or sexual <\/span>exploitation, the intimate nature of their horrific experiences and the complexity of cultural <\/span>pressures may make the abuse difficult to disclose on arrival to an Immigration Officer <\/span>who may be male and through an interpreter who may also be male. <\/span>Our treatment of vulnerable people reflects the kind of society we have become and this is <\/span>illustrated by recent reports about the conditions in which people seeking asylum are <\/span>being kept. In the Kent Intake Unit, in Dover, newly arrived migrants can have their cases <\/span>processed. Members of the Home Affairs Committee visited recently and were shocked <\/span>by their findings. They counted 56 people packed into a small waiting room, the floor of <\/span>
\nwhich was almost entirely covered by mattresses where people were trying to rest. To be <\/span>held for 24 hours ( the maximum period advised ) in this situation would be bad enough, <\/span>but many of these individuals had spent up to 48 hours in these overcrowded, poorly <\/span>ventilated conditions. There were no COVID-19 mitigation measures in operation. An <\/span>atrium facility, which is an open office suite unsuitable for overnight accommodation, was <\/span>being used to hold mostly unaccompanied vulnerable children prior to onward travel. The <\/span>Members of the Home Affairs Committee were reminded that the Home Office had a duty <\/span>to safeguard and promote the welfare of children arriving in the UK \u201c.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Please let us not forget those refugees who also need our humanitarian support and who <\/span>may not have a voice as the Afghan people have. Thank you to S.I. Middlesbrough <\/span>members for raising this topic affecting women and girls with their local M.P.s<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Rosemary Webb of S.I. Tynemouth, Whitley Bay & District. has written to me with two <\/span>items of more positive news. On 19 August her daughter spotted an appeal on Facebook <\/span>for baby hats for 8 – 10 lb babies from a nurse at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in <\/span>Glasgow – Scotland\u2019s biggest hospital and where her son-in-law works. Rosemary <\/span>forwarded the information to a few \u2018nits\u2019 (knitters !!) in her club and she was able to parcel <\/span>up 25 wee hats to take into the baby unit the next day. Fast and prompt Programme <\/span>Action !!<\/span><\/p>\n

I have heard about an Appeal that S.I.Thames Valley have circulated which was about a <\/span>lasting tribute for Federation President Johanna Raffan. I know that this subject has <\/span>been discussed at a recent meeting between all the Regional President\u2019s and Cathy <\/span>Cottridge, now our Federation President. Members have been asking if there is to be a <\/span>permanent tribute to Johanna who was much loved throughout SIGBI Federation and <\/span>although many suggestions were made, no action seems to be planned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forgive me for circulating this Appeal as I would not usually have included it, but as so <\/span>many members have been asking about a lasting memorial for Johanna I thought that <\/span>many of you would be interested in the plans from her own club where she was a founder <\/span>member.<\/span>
\nThis seems to tick so many boxes ! <\/span>
\n– planting trees <\/span>
\n– trees that provide food <\/span>
\n– linked to a school where children will take part, nurture and harvest the crops <\/span>
\n– and part of the Charity which Johanna had a very special interest in. <\/span>
\nPlease do read the Appeal below that gives you more details – and any small donation <\/span>that you or your club could make would be very gratefully received. <\/span>
\nFrom S.I. Thames Valley <\/span>MEMORIAL FRUIT ORCHARD <\/span>FOR JOHANNA RAFFAN<\/span><\/p>\n

To pay tribute to the memory and achievements of our founding member, and President <\/span>of our Federation Johanna Raffan, we are proposing to create an orchard on an acre of <\/span>land donated by a grateful Sierra Leonian. This will be adjacent to the secondary school <\/span>we have built in Bai Largo, Kori district. The planting of trees was very dear to Johanna\u2019s <\/span>heart – and so was our Kori project of which she was Chair. It is hoped that the <\/span>schoolchildren will help to plant the trees and eventually take part in harvesting the crops. <\/span>We will need to fence the land, buy tree guards to protect the young trees from smaller <\/span>
\nanimals, and also want to build sturdy benches. All of this is anticipated to cost \u00a35,000 <\/span>and we are hoping that Johanna\u2019s Soroptimist friends will consider helping to finance this <\/span>project in her memory.<\/span>
\nIf your club would consider making a donation to our project it can be done directly to our <\/span>club bank account, marking it \u201cMemorial Orchard\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

HSBC Bank plc <\/span>Soroptimist International of Thames Valley <\/span>Sort Code : 40 27 34 <\/span>Account No: 11130870<\/span>
\nOr send a cheque made out to Soroptimist International of Thames Valley – to : <\/span>Rose Kirk, 1 Kingswood Cottages,Tag Lane, Hare Hatch, Berks RG10 9SX<\/span>
\nPlease also email us to let us know so that we can acknowledge your kind contribution <\/span>to : sithamesvalleysecretary@gmail.com <\/span>
\nTHANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FROM US ALL AT S.I. THAMES VALLEY CLUB.<\/span>
\nOur club plans to post pictures of progress there : at www.koridp.org<\/span><\/p>\n

S.I.Sunderland have also been tree planting and on Saturday 11 September I joined a <\/span>group of their members with Club President Suzanne Brown at Herrington Country Park in <\/span>Sunderland. \"\"A Redwood tree was planted to commemorate the 100 years of Soroptimist <\/span>International and further plans are to plant 100 bright yellow daffodil bulbs around it. The <\/span>tree is in an accessible and prominent place near the main entrance to the Park. This <\/span>new Redwood tree joins its sibling which is now 10 years old so it was fascinating to see <\/span>how quickly it will grow and we all hope that we can re-visit it over the years to come. It is <\/span>a wonderful link to the Giant Redwoods of California where our global story began. <\/span>The photograph shows President Suzanne on the right, myself next to her and a group of <\/span>the Sunderland members.<\/span><\/p>\n

My next Regional Newsletter will be on Sunday 26 September and I hope that it will reach <\/span>you before I depart on my travels across the Pennines to be at S.I.Cockermouth & <\/span>District\u2019s special 40th Anniversary Lunch. I hope to see many of you there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please do keep sending me news items to include. <\/span>
\nIn friendship – your Regional President Christine Lumsdon <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
