FRESH THOUGHTS   Our most recent project has been to produce an information booklet for front-line workers in Dorset who support women who are experiencing Domestic Abuse.  The writing of the booklet followed on from research within our local safe house and our reflections following our observation of the Domestic Abuse Courts.  We are excited that the booklet is already proving very useful in different locations in Dorset and are looking forward to its wider use, thanks to the support of the Police and Crimes Commissioner for Dorset. Here’s a link to our video of the launch and instructions as to how to make the booklet local for your area. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ng3JQG9jQJzBlqnGKhoFV_aO4EMgVHFB/view

We  had a fascinating talk at our Club meeting from local celebrated photographer Jayne Bond. Jayne treated us to an array of beautiful wildlife photos and spoke to us about how she achieves mindfulness in nature.  

A great turnout to see and hear the Santa Train around Creekmoor, with many thanks to Poole Rotary – and Santa!

Along with other local organisations raising awareness of gender abuse , we spent some time at Poole Central Library and chatted with interested members of the public.  STARS and Citizens Advice were most interested in our current projects and future thoughts.  Very worthwhile!                                           

Do join us if you can – we are looking forward to taking an active part in this important event.
