SI the Wrekin joined in with the summer fayre to encourage “grow your own veg” to reduce food miles and get more involved with gardening. Along side this children were able to build their own bug hotel to encourage insects back into the garden, good for pollination and food sources for the birds. Proceeds from the plant sale have helped to fund the purchase of copies of the book When Love Bites. This book helps teenagers recognise toxic relationships, how to leave a relationship and rebuilding their self esteem and confidence.  

 

Not deterred by the damp weather we set off in search of the newly unveiled Soroptimist memorial.

Telford 50 walk the last leg

We are set to complete our 50 mile walk around Telford. It has been an enlightening experience finding so many beautiful green areas in such unlikely places. We have walked, talked and picnicked our way round with the odd drop in to members gardens when COVID restrictions allowed. What made the experience so pleasurable was the company of fellow members and our furry companions. We will dedicate our last section to Margaret Chavasse an avid Walker taken from us too soon. Follow the pink foot The next leg leaves The Wrekin behind and takes us from Lawley, via Horsehay, to Oakengates. It is amazing to find some beautiful green spaces where, when passing by car, the areas look built up and these green havens are missed. View of the Wrekin from the Ercall. A bit off track but we made it in the end Telford_50_trail_Info_leaflet
