Women’s Refuge Support
For a number of years, we have been providing a number of items to one of Nottingham’s Women’s Refuges. These include:
Welcome Packs: Basic toiletries and essentials for those who arrive with nothing.
Moving on Packs: Mops, buckets etc for those moving from the refuge into their own accommodation.
Food: Tins and packets kept at the refuge to help new arrivals.
In addition, over the years we have been able to undertake larger projects, such as provision of both indoor and garden furniture, a disabled-access shower, and a summerhouse. Club members also helped to create an allotment at the refuge to help the women and children get involved with growing their own food
For the past two years, the club has also collected gifts for the women and children in the refuge over the Christmas period, and in both years, the generosity of Nottingham people led to toys and gifts being delivered to a number of women’s refuges in the City, not just the one usually supported by the club. Shown below are members of the club with the toys and gifts wrapped and distributed in December 2007.
