1,000 lifesavers and counting!

We’re thrilled to announce that 1,000 WI members have now been trained in CPR through our Bystanders Can Be Lifesavers campaign.

Every member trained is another step towards safer, stronger communities. In an emergency, bystanders really can make the difference.

Make sure you and your WI are counted by completing our survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7RZB2WP

 The coffee morning today was very interesting - covering such topics as scrap stores and charity shops, chickens, nurseries (of the garden variety!), recommendations for good food - Jack’s Patch serves an excellent bubble and squeak - and plans for our entries into the Margaret Seaward exhibition!

Thank you all for you lovely company!

When delivering CPR, chest compressions need to follow a rhythm of approximately 120BPM (beats per minute).

To help our members, we’ve created a playlist on the NFWI YouTube Channel with an array of songs by female artists from across multiple decades that can all be used as a basis to time your CPR compressions. Why not take a look at what songs you can use: https://youtube.com/playlist...

What song do you use to make sure you're in time?

Look at this!

 

What’s On?

 

What are you planning to do?

 Our annual Margaret Seaward Exhibition is taking place on the last Wednesday of October, alongside the Life on the Edge drumming workshop. This event will bring to a close our Life on the Edge partnership. 

Entries are on the theme of flora and (or) fauna to reflect our Life on the Edge project.

Your entry must be made by you, this year, specifically for this exhibition. It can be in any medium: photo, glass etching, cake, flower arrangement, painting, stained glass, embroidery, colouring, sewing, a scene inside a bottle, sketching, taxidermy, paper craft, knitting, pyrography, crochet, needle felting , weaving, poetry, short story, a song, whittling, a scene on a tray…… any other ideas?

How are you going to join in?

 This looks like fun for the sleuths and dressing up fans amongst us!
