…and we would be delighted to visit and give a talk for any more of these amazing groups who work tirelessly for the good of women and the community.

Cirencester Soroptimists will invite us for a  talk and pop-up cafe later this year; we will show case some recipes from Inspired, our wonderful cookery book.

It will be good to finally meet in person following, their donations and hampers during lock down.

Minchinhampton Golf Club

A big thank you to Minchinhampton Golf Club for choosing us as their Charity of the Year 2022 and for showing such a positive interest in our work over the past twelve months.

We were overwhelmed to receive a cheque for £12,101.43 from Su Mallon and Simon Veder Cain (the 2022 Ladies’ and Men’s Captains).

In addition to this generous financial donation, the many thoughtful and practical gift boxes which the golf club members provided for the women in our refuges during the year have been very much appreciated.

To all our friends, if you are planning some fundraising, let us know so we can promote and  celebrate all you do.
