D5 Nantwich President Alison

D5 Nantwich President Alison

Nantwich has two Presidents this year and will split the responsibilities between them. Both have been Presidents in the last two years. They had such a good time, they wanted to continue. With their combined energy, Nantwich can look forward to a busy and fun year.

Alison Grocott joined Inner Wheel Club of Nantwich in 2016, She knew all about the Club as her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were both members. Alison has been minutes secretary for two years and was elected President in 2023. She is an accountant and still works part time. She says her year was invaluable and she learned so much she wanted to continue for a second year. She helped to convene the South Cheshire “cluster” of clubs working together more for bigger events and shared projects. More importantly she has the trusted role of chief club conference organiser, having capably organised Nantwich’s attendance at Conference for a few years and Manchester’s International Convention this year.

Jane and Alison have chosen two charities we continue to support Chance. Changing Lives, a local charity which helps the homeless and most vulnerable in our sister town of Crewe. Our second charity is the Frailty Unit at Leighton Hospital. This unit, just one year old, actively works with frail patients to avoid a hospital stay. Their record so far is saving 6,445 bed days.
