Skipton Soroptimists were delighted to welcome North Yorkshire Chief Constable Lisa Winwood to a recent meeting to receive a collection of Bobbie Buddies made by members of the club. The small teddy bears are given to young children who may have been involved directly or indirectly in traumatic situations to give a little comfort. Lisa gave us a fascinating talk on her progress from a Special Constable in York, working in the many sections of the service and the changes, challenges and comparisons between rural areas like our own to city policing to her present role as head of policing in North Yorkshire.
