SI Widnes pulled out all the stops for a Show Case event – and the show went on, attracting visitors from the Region and beyond, despite heavy snow.
Club members set up displays illustrating Programme Action work as well as a wide variety of other activities and events. There was even a gallery profiling the members themselves.
Local press publicity was successful in encouraging members of the public to drop in during the day. For the evening session, guests from South Lancashire’s clubs included the Regional Vice President, Margaret Baker, of SI Bolton. The club was also delighted to welcome colleagues from SI Runcorn, Frodsham & District Club in the neighbouring Region of Cheshire, North Wales & Wirral. These included Helen Owen, one of SIGBI’s Global Impact Ambassadors.
Guests heard from representatives of many organisations with which SI Widnes currently work – including the local Women’s Aid outreach programme, Widnes & Runcorn Cancer Support, the Little Princess Trust (that provides real hair wigs for children suffering hair loss) and the gardening project at Halebank Primary School.
So the event enabled both SI Widnes and many local organisations to ‘show case’ their activities at this highly successful Show Case event.
