theWI IWIRING WOMEII SOUTH YORKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021- 2022 HALL CROSS COTTAGE 5 ALBION PLACE SOUTH PARADE DONCASTER DNI 2EG TEL: 01302 325829 Email- southyorksfed@gmail.com Website- www.southyorksfedwi.org.uk ANNUAL REPORT 202112022 Federation Chairman The Board of TrU￿eeS is made up of I I Wl members whose role it is to see the overall running of the Federalion. We meet each month with Hybrid Meetings as this allows members with work and family commiiments to be able to take part. We have recently upgraded our equipment so that our Meetings allow everyone to be seen and be heard from wherever they are whi15t taking part in the meeting. All our Sub Teams now work in this way and so we hope to encourage more members to join us without having to travel into Doncaster- it also saves on mileage. Hall Cross Cottage is Still open for 3 days each week and our two staff members are always there to give you help and SUPFKIrt if needed. Dorothy Meekins Federation Chairman Offi¢¢ and Finance Many thanks to all of you who have tri￿ to support the Federation &8 we attempt to get back to some sort of 'norniality', and a huge thank you to those Wls who made donations to South Yorkshire Federation. Although we are a long way from where we want to be. as a Federation we know we are considerably better off that some others who may well find themselves in a position where mergers have to happen. It has been a tough few years for us all but we have two things going for us- we are women and we are strong! We will get there. A big 'thank you, also to Kirsty and Lesley for their hard work and unfailing smiles. We have a couple of stars in our Office! Ingrid House Federation Treasurer Membership Team The Membership Sub Team is made up of 3 WI Advisers. Dorothy Meekins, Ingrid House and Sian Holmes. 2 of our Wl Advisers have decided to stand down this year. We are still planning to visit every Wl every 3 to 4 year5 for their Annual Meeting. There are 50 Wls within our Federation with 1940 members that is an increase of 90 members from last year. During 2022 we responded to 140 enquiries from FM>tential new members so hopefully many of them will become Wl members. Sadly we saw the closure of two of our Wls but we are plwed to welcome a new Wl in Fulwood with 63 members. The WI Advisers are always willing to give help and support to all our WIS so please just get in contact with us if any help or advice is needed. Dorothy Meekins Membership Team Chair Activities & Social Team We are happy to report that the Activittes and Social Team have been working hard to organise a varied program for our members in the Coming 12 months. The regular items on the calendar are taking shape. Treasure Trails in early summer and the Quizzes for the first week in October. Venues are always a little tricky for these events, big enough to hold ihe many ladies who like to attend, parking and of course location. Its ￿Y to keep them in venues we know work but are very aware that it ihen mean5 that the same people end up travelling, so we have tried this year to explore some new sites. We ho￿ you wtll continue to support them again this year. both are usually very well attended. The Craft Club is also proving popular and we appreciate the feedback we have had with regards the sorts of things you would like to learn or improve on in future sessions. Again. we are aware that holding them at Hall Cross Cottage doesn't 5UIt everyone and so we are again exploring ways that we can make the Craft Club more accessible in other areas. Please look out in News and Views for alternative options. We have had requests for day trips so we are currently looking into the logistics and costing of that and will keep you infornied via News and Views. Thank you to everyone who has supported any or all of these events in the last 12 months and if you have any ideas for evenls you would like to see, please come along to the next Activittes and Social Team meeting, where you will be made most welcome. If you are unable to attend in person the option of joining us on Zoom is always available. Activities & Social Team Current Affairs and Resolutions Te4m This newly named team continues to concern itself with a broad and diverse range of topics, affecting not just women, but their families and communities, locally and more widely. Through our Resolutions proces5 we are in the enviable position of being able to put forward our concerns on topics Close to our heart for debate by our peers. Typically, this year's shortlist (Selected from a list of over 40, all of which were discussed by representatives from Federdtions in England and Wales) reflects the diversity of our membership's interests- national water supply, the lives of women tea workers, online gambling harni and clean rivers for people and wildlife. In January every year individual members have the opportunity to vote on the short list in preparation for the next part of the discussion and selection proce55. When the final resolution is adopted, NFWI Public Affair5 Put their experience and expertlse into promoting the R¢solution both within and beyond the Wl. If you have not yet seen the materials produced for use by W15 and their members. I heartily recommend you log into My Wl and have a look at them. The Resolutions process takes a little short of a year, from initial submission to the voting in of one Resolution at the Annual Meeting. The Resolutions themselves. however. are not just for a year. They are longstanding campaigns, very often well known to the general public. In the past we called for more midwives, encouraged talk about organ donation, equal pay and AIDS awareness. Currently, our campaigns focus on fair trade, ending modern slavery and violence towards women. greater support for mental healih issues and improving the diagnosis of ADHD and Autism in women and girls. The Wl is a fellowship of mor¢ than 190,000 women. bui through its members. commitment to the Resolution proce55, it has an impact on the lives of so many more people in our community and beyond. So ihank you for continuing this long-estsblished Wl tradition by exercising your privilege of voting for this year's Resolution. Thank you, too, to the many of you who supported the committee's Environment Day last year. The speakers, refreshments and venue were excellent. but what made it special was that it came after such a long period of isolation. It was good to be among friends and noi having to think too hard about keeping two metres between us. This year we are hoping to put on a full day event in the autumn, with a variety of speakers, tslking on a breadth of topics with an Asian connection. We have deliberdtely reduced the ticket price and moved the event to a Saturday to be more incluslve and sensitive to member's personal circumstances. Just recently, in response to a suggestion from a WI member in our region. we are investigating how we could have a presence at local Pride events. Current Affairs embraces all areas of importance and interest to Wl members and it is ho￿ that the South Yorkshire Federation team's planning will reflect this.
