When a new member moved to the area, she hoped to join Flamborough Women’s Institute. But her husband has Alzheimer’s, and she couldn’t leave him for any length of time. She assumed WI membership wasn’t for her.
Around the same time, the WI launched its Carers Policy, and everything changed. She could join and bring her husband along to meetings. The couple now have a warm, welcoming community and the husband especially loves setting up the hall for their meetings.
This summer, they took their support further. Their Yorkshire-themed afternoon tea raised £600 for Right Minds, which will fund events for the group.
Well done, Flamborough WI 💜
