The club was awarded a grant to supply new start bags, toilet bags for adults and children, mobile phones etc for victims of trafficking, exploitation and domestic abuse. A member of the Complex Exploitation team came to talk to us in November and was given the first batch of items.
The club continues to collect items to donate to the Trussell Trust food bank for Stockton and Billingham
A tea party in a member’s garden in September raised £500 for Purple Rose Health and Wellbeing charity.
The club has continued to support our local food bank on a monthly basis. We also had a very interesting talk by the manager who explained how the food bank operates.
In December President Chris presented a cheque for £600 to Teesside Hospice from the club.
Club members collected 100 items of sanitary protection as part of our centenary celebration. These were passed to Stockton and Billingham food bank to help end period poverty.
At the Club’s AGM on 8 April Members celebrated Lilian Lloyd’s 50 years of club membership with a presentation to be followed by afternoon tea on 22 May. Congratulations!
Members Try Their Hand at Flower Arranging. As we had had a fabulous talk by Yarm florist Sandra Rose, President Angela suggested that prior to the Strawberry Tea ladies try their hand at table arrangements. As Sandra’s talk was ‘Flowers on a Budget’, beautiful blooms supplied by Kate Wilson were used plus some bear grass. Members chose a vase and created their own decoration. Just look at how well they did! One lesson of forty minutes and they are ready to have a go. Well done ladies!!
