2016
We have donated £400 to Loving Humanity, which assists women in war-torn Syria. The founder, Amy Peake, has opened a factory which generates sanitary towels, nappies and incontinence pads for desperate women. One of our members heard her on Women’s Hour talking about her charity and asked us if we could help. We have sent £400 to Amy and she responded with an email asking me to pass on her heartfelt thanks to you all as this will help her open a second factory.

In 2014 we donated £800 to Emily’s Trust (a young lady and her parents who have set up a fund to enable her to lead an independent life after being struck down with meningitis at the age of 15).
All the charities have been very grateful for our donations and would like us to pass on to you their thanks. The Hospice and Air Ambulance charities have sent us certificates to commemorate our donations.
