2018 was the second year that SI Warrington members got together to sew clothes for Syrian refugees, living either in Syria itself or in camps in Greece. \u00a0Our contribution this year was a total of 37 dresses, 4 skirts and 12 pairs of shorts! \u00a0 This project was organised in collaboration with Care UK Charity<\/em><\/strong>, which collects and distributes practical items and medical aid to people in need. End of line, unwanted or excess stock items are sorted, packed and loaded onto 40 ft containers at its Northwich Depot, which are shipped to the refugees in Syria, Greece, or the Greek Islands. \u00a0The charity also supports both local people and refugees in the UK who are in need of practical help in setting up home.<\/p>\n Our project coordinator for this initiative, Julia Blair, is pictured above holding one of the dresses and handing a cheque for \u00a3 106.41 to Sue Cowlishaw of Care UK Charity<\/strong><\/em> – this additional contribution, the residue of our fundraising efforts to buy all the materials for the project, will be put towards the cost of one of Care UK’s container shipments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2018 was the second year that SI Warrington members got together to sew clothes for…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":719,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[31,32,5],"class_list":["post-476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-projects","tag-care-uk-charity","tag-refugee-relief","tag-soroptimist"],"yoast_head":"\n
