This is an amazing facility for those with Dementia. Friends of Garget Walker house had thought the worst when the Alzheimer\u2019s Society removed their support and funding last year. However, it was an opportunity for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiaforward.org.uk\/\">Dementia Forward<\/a> to step in, with their \u2018local is best\u2019 ethos and as Anne Morton, chair for the meeting and a Friend of Garget Walker House said, \u2018Dementia Forward is our future\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Dementia, in all its forms will affect nearly every family in the UK, and early onset dementia is of particular concern. Jill told us of their new initiative \u2018U or ME\u2019, launched nationwide to tackle and raise awareness of Dementia in the under 65\u2019s, who need support in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>For a relatively new organisation (less than 10 years old) they have made a huge impact in North Yorkshire, with their Hub Clubs (like Garget Walker House) their helpline, (taking 1000 calls per month) and \u2018pop up\u2019 cafes and many other initiatives.\u00a0 One recently diagnosed young man, was told by his consultant \u2018you have hit the jackpot, living in North Yorkshire &#8211; the leader in Dementia support\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Several items were discussed in our business session.\u00a0 Plans are in place to mark International Women&#8217;s Day 2023.\u00a0 Dame Vera Baird, the outgoing Victims Commissioner will be speaking to us at the Holiday Inn, Scotch Corner.\u00a0 This will be an open event including a light meal, and publicity and tickets will be made available to other clubs shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Bowran provided an update on our Sharing our Skills project which we run in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondschool.net\/\">Richmond School.\u00a0<\/a> Each year a number of pupils in first year of A levels are welcomed to the club after New Year for 3 months to learn about how an organisation operates by attending our meetings and taking part in our activities.\u00a0 This also provides them with an introduction to understanding and addressing women&#8217;s issues.\u00a0 Chris has had an initial meeting with 8 students who are interested in joining us from next January.<\/p>\n<p>Items from our &#8220;shopping list&#8221; were also donated at the meeting towards equipping our sponsored flat run by <a href=\"https:\/\/evawomensaid.org.uk\/\">EVA women&#8217;s aid<\/a>.\u00a0 Sandy Baxter also sold some Harris Tweed Christmas Robins in aid of SI Harare&#8217;s work in Zimbabwe, together with some leftover canvas bags from our STEM events, raising \u00a323.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a3200 has been passed to Richmond Landscape Trust from our SI Centenary tree planting initiative.\u00a0 After difficulty in obtaining the saplings (having been let down by suppliers), the Trust now aims to plant our 3 lime trees before Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>We have also bought a clothes rail which will be placed in Colburn Community Centre for donated warm clothing to be made available to those in need this winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At our November meeting, we had a talk by a representative of one of our&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[68,103,105,98,75,104,102,25,64,91,84],"class_list":["post-5005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news","tag-coffee-morning","tag-colburn-community-centre","tag-dementia-forward","tag-eva-womens-aid","tag-garget-walker-house","tag-international-womens-day","tag-richmond-landscape-trust","tag-richmond-school","tag-scotch-corner-hotel","tag-sharing-our-skills","tag-si-harare"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>November Meeting | News | Blog | Events | SI Richmond and Dales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Richmond and Dales : Blog &amp; News : November Meeting : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Richmond and Dales .
