The monthly meeting began with an impromptu photo session outside the
vestry hall, to provide Helena with some new images to update our publicity
leaflets with. Hopefully we can share her work at the next meeting.
The NFWI Resolution, Organ Donation – Time to Talk, which we voted to
support at our May meeting, was passed at the AGM with a 98% majority
vote.
More information on how we as a WI
and as individuals can support this can be found here: http://www.thewi.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/84931/AM-Resolution-Briefing-Notes-Increasing-Organ-Donation-March-2014-web.pdf
And so on to our speaker! Harriet Watson from Beanstalk spoke to us
about the work they and their volunteers carry out to improve children’s
literacy, through working in primary schools on a one-to-one basis with
children who need help with their reading skills. Our committee member, Jenny, also spoke about
her experiences as a Beanstalk volunteer.
If anyone is interested in finding
out more about becoming a volunteer, please go to http://www.beanstalkcharity.org.uk/reading-helpers or contact us at Londonwestendwi@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to give you
Harriet’s contact details.
