The first thing the club did was to provide funding for the women to attend \u2018Fit to Dance\u2019 sessions in a culturally safe environment for them.<\/p>\n<p>The club has also helped organise informal craft sessions where the women have been given the opportunity to learn a new skill as well as engage in English conversation in an informal setting. The women asked to learn how to knit and crochet and were very quick to learn. They soon produced this colourful blanket made from their first attempts at their new-found skills. They have decided to donate the blanket to the local Nightstop centre.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/runcorn-frodsham-and-district\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_0041-Copy-Crop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-536\" src=\"\/runcorn-frodsham-and-district\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_0041-Copy-Crop-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/runcorn-frodsham-and-district\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_0041-Copy-Crop-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/runcorn-frodsham-and-district\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_0041-Copy-Crop-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/runcorn-frodsham-and-district\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_0041-Copy-Crop-1024x705.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/runcorn-frodsham-and-district\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_0041-Copy-Crop.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Refugee families are dispersed widely across the Borough, so this craft\/ activity group has also given the women an opportunity to meet up regularly and develop friendships and feel less isolated as they begin to settle into their new homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Runcorn and Frodsham Soroptimists have been working with Umbrella Runcorn a local group who&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":560,"featured_media":553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Supporting Syrian Refugee Women | News | Blog | Events | SI Runcorn, Frodsham and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Runcorn, Frodsham and District : Blog &amp; News : Supporting Syrian Refugee Women : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Runcorn, Frodsham and District .
