Congratulations to our Prosperity Group who have raised £5,800 through successful bids for grants to create hygiene bags. The hygiene bags provide essential items to women and girls in crisis. The need to create the bags came from discussion with partners and to date, 115 have been distributed to local groups and organisations who then pass on them on to those in need. Our partners in the project include Harbour, Support and Grow North East, Meadow Well Connected, Depaul and several local primary schools.
Prosperity group works hard to buy the items, make up the bags and deliver them to partners and it’s a great example of we can tap into external funding to put the principles of Soroptimist International into practice.
