## **ELIZABETH’S GROUP ANNUAL REPORT**
April 2024 – April 2025
Since our last report we have followed up our aims and produced a new booklet and map with funds provided by the Town Council. The booklet is now with the printers and will be ready for free distribution by the end of May.
On International Women’s Day 2025, we held an Afternoon Tea and Talk event at Congleton Town Hall which was well attended. It aimed to spread the word about Elizabeth and celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.
Our Chair has also given talks at several Women’s Institutes, Rangers Group and Brownie packs.
We have also appeared in a number of podcasts made by other history groups nationwide and we are recording an international podcast in at the end of May.
During this year Elizabeth’s Group has released a book “ _Justice is a Woman”_ written by our Chair, which is selling well and spreading the word about Elizabeth. At our International Women’s Day Event our Chair presented our new MP Sarah Russell, with a copy of the book as a thank you for mentioning Elizabeth in her Maiden Speech. She also gave her a second copy to put in the House of Commons Library and Mrs Russell recorded herself taking the book there and put the recording on social media. So, Elizabeth is back in Parliament after 100 years!
Also, this year we have started a small group called Elizabeth’s Girls, by training several of our members as mentors with Pure Insite, a charity which works with young women leaving the care system. This is ongoing and needs some development.
We are looking into the possibility of founding an International Elizabeth Elmy Day sometime in September. This would help get Elizabeth better known nationally and internationally.
More recently, Suzy Firkin has started a research programme and has visited the National Library to research the Wolstenholme Elmy Archive. We are very excited to about what she might find.
a solution, we will not give up whilst there are bricks left standing.
Heritage Trail plaques need some attention and the plaque near “Our Elizabeth” needs to be replaced as it has been vandalised.
We have had some volunteer recruitment but still need a secretary and a website manager.
Another successful year and thanks to the books, Still She Rises and Justice is a Woman, our bank balance is healthy, and we are ticking along nicely.
