Women's Refuge
As our branch representative on the Women's Committee, Jacqui Stewart is urging branch members to help women who find themselves helpless and homeless through violence. They may arrive at the door of a refuge with just the clothes they are wearing.
As a way of helping them over the first few days, the CWU North West Women's Committee are putting together shoe boxes filled with essentials (and a few treats) to give to new arrivals. Many churches have done this for several years under the banner of "Operation Christmas Child" for deprived or displaced children in foreign lands. Now we have a chance to help a section of our own community.
