Each year Sparkling Wye WI chooses a local charity to support for that year.
Various events, table top sale, raffles, pudding evenings etc are held through out the year to raise money.
During 2020, ’21 and into 2022 our WI Sewing and Knitting (WISK) have worked tirelessly to produce products used in local hospitals, respite centres, items for children used by First Responders and currently working on draw-string bags to be sent to Ukrainian children for Christmas. With kind donations from Sparkling Wye members these bags have been filled and awaiting shipment to Ukraine – Well done everyone!
In 2019 Sparkling Wye WI decided not to choose a charity at the beginning of the year but to be more flexible and support charities in different ways. For example a collection of toiletries for the Women’s Refuge and making of Christmas stockings for children at the refuge.
In 2018 we raised money for Horizon Centre in Ross, a day centre for adults with learning and other difficulties.
In 2017 £565 was raised for the Breast Haven Centre in Hereford.
