WI Climate Ambassadors are encouraging our members to do all they can to prepare for future climate shocks and to make sure they have a 'grab bag' ready in case they need to quickly leave their homes. Their free 'Time to Get Ready!' booklet is available in ChyNoweth and will be on their stall at the Annual Meeting in October.

Meanwhile here is invaluable information and the chance to win a prize!

As part of our ongoing work on the WI's Dental Health Matters campaign, representatives from Cornwall Federation and Illogan WI met with MP for Camborne & Redruth Perran Moon this week. We reminded him of the dire situation of NHS Dentistry within Cornwall, the particular impact it has on women and girls and shared some WI members own NHS Dentistry stories from Illogan and beyond. He offered to establish what further developments were being planned to amend the current NHS Dental Contract, ensure the Integrated Health Board do not underspend in Dentistry this financial year and seek to ensure the County's NHS Dental van reaches the communities where it is most needed.

We welcome the Prime Minister's commitment to offer all rough sleepers housing over Christmas. WI members are calling for action to support homeless women through our new campaign, launching soon.

Vulnerable women are often invisible in official figures because they rarely sleep rough. Many spend nights walking, sofa surfing, or remaining with abusive partners rather than sleeping on the streets. The first step must be to count everyone experiencing homelessness.

We are encouraging WI members to write to their local council and urge them to participate in the Rough Sleeping Women's Census. Find out more about the census at Women’s Rough Sleeping Census - Solace Womens Aid and you can contact the Public Affairs team for a letter you can send to your local council.
