Our club member Audrey has a natural wombling skill, to find and repurpose all sorts of things (and for those that don’t remember the childrens’ TV show characters, Madame Cholet is a very kind-hearted but short-tempered female Womble, and the cook of the Wimbledon burrow, styled on Beresford’s mother and named after the town of Cholet in France. She affects a French accent, though she is actually no more French than any other Wimbledon Womble and simply likes to think of herself as French. https://wombles.fandom.com/wiki/Madame_Cholet )
Audrey came across a social media post from a local care home, offering some adult diapers that they had spare, for anyone to collect. As it happens, at our regional meeting last weekend, the speaker was Jane Walker, founder and CEO of Purple Community Fund. She had requested ring pulls, toiletries and adult diapers! So, we collected them, took them to our regional meeting, and donated them direct to the Purple Community Fund – we needed a human chain to get them all into Jane’s car at the end of the meeting!
