th8 speciul Silver Trefoil aword (formerw the Silver Brooch) is ovailable and has been presented to two

Do￿loP our key messages: flnd Irlend$hlp. got activel got involved and giv& support
Trefoil Guild members find friendship in all they do but the following programme activities mean that
membgrs ore getting ir)volved and 9iving support in communitigs both at home and abroad.
Almost 100 members found friendship and got activ& in the bgoutiful Stalfordshire Peak District on our

a Thailond project which will take place in January 2026.
Trefoil ware mindful thot not all members can loin a TOPAZ project and health, finances and security
concerns can make travelling difficult. To giv& oll mombers an international experience we launched
International (Jt home. A chance to 8xplore another country without leaving your own, choosing a
