ANNUAL REPORT 202012021 Federation Chairman I believe that at long last we are beginning to see some signs of an improvement in the way we have had to live our lives during the p&8t 3 years. The South Yorkshire Federation is at long last looking forward to starting to plan and organize events for all our member5 to participate in and to enjoy. Members are now beginning to feel more confident in going oul and mixing wlth fellow Wl friends. I do appreciate the fact that we still have to be careful with social contacts but at leasi we ¢an go about our daily lives albeit with a little more thought and consideration for others. The vasl majority of our WIS 2r¢ now meeting regularly once again although I know that a few have had to temporarily change venues due to the size or ventilation issues with their usual meeting halls. The Federation Office is now open for 3 days as we always did and the Board of Trustees and Sub Committees ar¢ meeting in Hall Cross Cottage as they had done previously. There are occasions when the Board of Trustees and the Membership Sub Committee have members in the Headquarters and others joining us by Zoom. This to allow for those working members to attend meetings. Hopefully this will encourdge other members to join our Committees but are unable to attend our Headquarters due to work or family commitments. Please support your Federdtion events as a lot of lime and effort has been put into planning these events and it is lovely to see and socialize with our fellow Wl members. Dorothy Meekins Federation Chairman Office and Finance Office and Finance report for the Year ending 30th September 2021. No-one needs telling that the last almost two years have been a nightmare. As you know. the office was closed for much of last year and all our activities dwindled to virtually nothing. We arrange these activities for two reason5, $0 we can leam about things and to raise money. It is hardly surprising thai the financial r¢p)rt is going to be uncomfortable reading. On the plu5 side, Kirsty and Lesley worked from home and only went into the office to check mail and so on. But. the bills kept coming in! We were luckier than some Federaiions who had to furlough staff and then, in a few cases, make redundancies. We chose to do neither. There was still work to be done. Zooms to organise, shoulders to be squared and teeth to be gritted. The Wl women of South Yorkshire were determined noi to be beaten by a global pandemicl I ihink we did a good job all in all. Many thanks, as always io the lovely Kirsty and Lesley who soldied on and sorted thing5. Ingrid House Federation Treasurer Membership Sub-committee The Membership team is made up of the 5 WI Advisers- t)orothy Meekins. Ingrid House. Anita Reynolds, Annie Dawson and Rebecca Holt. We also welcomed Sian Holmes onto our team. Sian has just commenced her Wl Adviser training. Our role is to support all Wls and be there to answer any queries and problems. We are trying to visit all Wls at ihe time of their Annual Meeting at least once every 3 years. sadly Covid 19 has disnjpted our plans a little but we will soon be back on trnck.
The last 2 years have been somewhat disappointing for the Federation. Along with the rest of the Wl family we have seen our membership numbers decline. Sadly we have seen the suspension of 7 of our Wls. Reasons for their suspensions were due either to being unable to form a Committee or an ageing population who were shiclding due to the recent pandemic. Our Federdtion has 51 Wls with 1850 members. 378 le55 than before Covid. This is in keeping with the reduction in membership throughout the whole country. On the positive side we have welcomed a new Wl into the Federation. Carcroft Corkers based in Carcroft, Donc&ster are a very vibrant and enthusi&sti¢ WI with lots of exciting plans and ideas- we wish them well. Dorothy Meekins Membership Committee Ch4ir Activities & Social This is an amalgamation of the Home Economics and Education and LEisure Sub-commiiiees, chaired by Sandra Crawford and Loma Monigomery. l am sure everyone who has attended any of the many events organised by them in the past will join me in thanking Sandra and Lorna for their commitment to providing a varied and stimulating programme for us over the years. Unfortunately, all activities planned for 2021 had to be cancelled due lo the uncertain nature of events during the pandemic. In November 2021, however. the sub-committee was able to meet at Hall Cross Cottage and immediately started confinning events for the coming year. Consequently. the Treasure Trail (formerly the Heritage Walk) will take place in May and June and the Quiz will be in October. In addition, the popular craft sessions held at Hall Cross Cottage are resumed with effect from 15 February this year. As other events evolve full details will appear in News 'n' Views. and we hope we can all start to enjoy meeting together once more. Susan Webster Secretary of Activities & Social Committee Public Affairs and Resolutions Committee The Wl is a very "broad church", catering for a wide range of opinions and styles. One of NFWI'S mission statements is, "The Wl is evewhing you want it to be", so that may be meeting new people, learning new skills or making a difference to your local community through WI campaigns. For me. the Public Affairs campaigning ami of the Wl and to be part of something bigger that had influence, was very attractive. A lot of the general public are amazed at the Resolutions that have originated from the Wl and brought about real change in society e.g. the "Keep Britain Tidy" campaign. Wl members showed real foresight in calling for a ban on smoking in public places in 1964, after a report l O years previously had shown a definite link beiween smoking and lung cancer. This Resolution led to a number of public health initiatives which eventually cumulated in a total ban of smoking in public places in 2007. Every issue campaigned about Stems directly from a Resolution put forward by members, giving members a chance to turn a concern into a national campaign. So if thi5 part of WI life appeals to you too. you would be most welcome to join our SYFWI Public Affairs Sub- Committee which meets bi-monthly. Now that we have all become more familiar wlth video- conferencing tools such as Zoom, we can be more flexible in how we meet. Aside from keeping members infornied about campaign issues. our Committee also arranges one large event each year. In the past, this has been an "International Day" focussing on aspects of a particular country. This year, we are arranging an "Environment Day" which is focussing on different aspects of climate change. This is a very topical subject following on from COP26 in Glasgow. Did you know that the Wl wa5 one of the founder members of the Climate Coalition? Another interesting fact about the Wl ! We hope you will join us on 21st June in Dinnington for this new venture. Roberta EAles Co-chair of Public Affairs & Resolutions Committee
ACWW It has been another difficult year for ACWW and The Board and World President have searched for new and innovative way5 to proceed with ACWW'S work and to connect with members to steer ACWW through an uncertain period of time (which is obviously not over yet). Like other organisa¢ions, ACWW is struggling and the ongoing challcnges and uncertainty brought on by this pandemic are very difficult, yet the people they SUprt Still need their services - perhaps now more than ever. Women and girls are disadvantaged in this pandemic. a problem aggravated in rurnl areas. Rural women. with a crucial role in agriculture, food security and nutrition, already face struggles in their daily lives without the added impact ofcovid. The cancellation of practically all physical events has had a huge impact on their fund-raising abilities and The Board have needed to drdw on financial reserves in order to meet commitments for the year. They have successfully strived to increase iheir virtual presence by holding virtual world and area conferences and afternoon te&s with the World President, Magdie de Kock. as well as moving their advocacy work on-line to work alongside like-minded NGOS. I'm looking forward to attending the European Area Conference in Glasgow from 19th September- 23rd September, 2022 (Covid permittingl) where I can keep abreast of current initiatives and network with others. Perhaps you might like to invite me to give an up-dated ACWW ialk to your Wl after I've been! My thanks to Dungwoth & Storrs Wl for inviting me to talk io them and for their donation towards ACWW'S work. Don't forget to bring your "Pennies for Friendship" cheques to SYFWI Annual Meeting on 30th April. ACWW work is kept alive by the Pennies for Friendship fund. Please make sure you make the cheque payable to ACWW and write Wl PfF on the back. This will ensure any money donated is used for supporting project work from the Women's Empowemient Fund and not used for ACWW'S admin work. Thank you. If you are new to the Wl and interested in finding out rn0 about the work of ACWW, ple&se visit their website acww.org.uk. I would also encourage those Wl who do not Contribu to the Pennies for Friendship fund to have a look at the website to see how this money is used for women around the world who are less privileged than most of us.
