D10 – Worcester Severn present orange bags to Women’s Aid Worcester

Worcester Severn club became aware of a lady with a new-born baby trying to escape an abusive partner and had nothing but the clothes she stood up in. Several agencies got together to help but it made us think about what we would need if we were in those circumstances so we got some orange bags and filled them with the essentials and presented them to Women’s Aid in Worcester. We felt that combining Orange the World and practical help would be the best way to raise awareness.

The photo shows our club President Marg Morris, club members Margaret Baker and Gwyneth Biddle, Kate Ingles H and S  officer, Janet Blake International Officer and member Jan Dinsdale. In total we collected 12 bags stuffed full of useful items and our member Jo Humphreys Club Correspondent collected them for Women’s Aid who were very grateful.
