Following a request from the co-ordinator of the travel Buddy project our creative team of Carol, Janet & Annie produced a topper that depicted people teaming together and getting out & about using local transport.
As this combined with WI campaigns to Get On Board and raise awareness of local bus services, and Linked Together to Alleviate Loneliness we were happy to be involved.
Two of our members were proud to attend the Million Women Rise March in London recently. Their spirits were raised by the support shown for the WI and they are hoping that a larger contingent from the West Sussex Federation may attend next year.
Several new creation include this steam train now standing in Station Road.
Others that were displayed last year can now be viewed in new locations.
This year we have been joined by Roffey Greenfields WI who created 3 toppers to be seen in the Roffey area
We are again promoting the work of local charity Horsham Matters and ask that if you are able, to donate to their cause. A link to their donation page can be found on the label on the post boxes.
Others about the town centre.
That terrific trio of Carol, Annie and Janet have created this seasonal topper that was on display in Trafalgar Road, Horsham.
Several of our members made post box toppers to promote the Midnight Walk for St Catherine’s Hospice which takes place annually in September.
This particular topper celebrated the amazing walkers and was situated to bring a smile as they neared the end of their efforts.
Despite the searing temperatures about a dozen of us met in the shade of the pine trees and found a refreshing breeze.
Thank you to Jill and Lesley for co-ordinating these extra activities.
We were invited to take part in Dementia Awareness Week in May and although we had little notice we soon created a mass of forget-me-not crochet flowers. These we attached to post box toppers which were placed in prominent positions about the town.
The Alzheimer Society in Horsham were delighted with the toppers. Some of our members met with two representatives, who asked lots of questions about the project for the society’s newsletter culminating in the inevitable photo of the meeting.
Our thanks also go to Ute for crocheting many little forget-me-not flowers that were sold for pin brooches and raised £26 for the Alzheimer Society.
