We held our last meeting of the year on Monday 11th December and as is our tradition, we shared a meal together and enjoyed some festive fun and friendship. As usual, our members produced the most amazing food.
We also remember the organisations we support, especially Harbour. As part of our Christmas meeting, we make up gift bags for women with whom Harbour works in the community and we use some of the funds we have raised to give gifts to the women and children who will be living in Harbour’s refuge over Christmas. This year, we also raised more funds for Support and Grow from a mini Christmas market and a raffle. Coming right at the end of the 16 days of activism against gender based violence, we think about the women for whom Christmas might be a difficult time and pledge to turn the 16 days into 365 days – the campaigning and action goes on.
