We have raised over \u00a35,500 for our two charities Salisbury Women&#8217;s Refuge and EdUKaid. In Tanzania this has provided sewing machines, training for women to make reusable sanitary pads and sponsored a girls&#8217; club. We have also collected over 16,000 bras from Salisbury and surrounding areas to be sent to various African countries. Her Salisbury Story has promoted 85 womens&#8217; stories on its website and the Her Salisbury Trail map continues to sell well at the Tourist Office.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;6735,6732,6733&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6731&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]President, Michele Smith, spoke about these achievements and also our plans for the future.
