Birchgrove WI to support local charity

We will be supporting a local project this year and would like your ideas to help us compile a list, that we will all vote on in the next couple of months. There are many types of projects, causes or appeals that fall within the WI objects. Examples include: 

Raising funds for bursaries or scholarships for women.

Raising funds for an events day where women are given personal development activities .

Providing facilities or equipment at a community resource, such as a local hospital, hospice, school or play area. 

There are many projects, appeals or causes that WIs cannot support because they do not further their charitable objects, for example:

A project to create better facilities for animals or prevent cruelty to animals.

Raising funds to help an individual rebuild her house which has been damaged.

Raising funds to help an individual pay for hospital treatment.

Please see full guidance “A WI Guide to Raising Funds for Projects, Causes or Appeals” available from the WI website.

Please email us at birchgrove@gmail.com with your ideas.
