theWI INSPIRING WOMEN SOUTH YORKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WIS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 - 2023 HALL CROSS COTTAGE 5 ALBION PLACE SOUTH PARADE DONCASTER DNI 2EG TEL: 01302 482388 Email- southyorksfed@gmail.com Website - www.southyorksfedwi.org.uk ANNUAL REPORT 202212023 Federation Chairman The Board of Trustees is made up of10 Wl members whose role it is to see the overall running of the Federation. Wc mcct cvcry month as a Hybrid Meeting as this allows mcmbcrs with work and family commitments to b¢ able to take part. We are responsible for the management of the WI within the County of South Yorkshire. The administration of all funds of the Federation and the carrying out of the policy decided upon al the NFWI Annual Meeting and the meetings of the Board of Tnjstees. Our Headquarters in Doncaster are open 3 days each week and our salaried staff are there to give you help and advice themselves or by referring you on ihe appropriate Trustee. Dorothy Meekins Federation Chairman Office and Finance The last financial year was an extremely challenging one for the Federation. Bluntly, we spent more than our income and that is a situation thai w]noi ¢oniinue. Our main sources of income are the Federation share of subscriptions and surpluses from events and courses we organise. We get occasional donations and also hold the funds of WIS that have gone into suspension. These latter funds do not belong to the Federation until three years have passed (although any in1¢￿5¢ they earn 15 Ours). I would urge all Wls to support Federdtion events as they did in those times 'BC'. If we don't then I fear that the future could look bleak. Thanks to our Federation staff for all they do and also to all Wl Treasurers who do an amazing job. Ingrid House Federalion Treasurer Membership Supwtrrt The Membership Sub Team has 4 Wl Advisers. Dorothy Meekins, Ingrid House, Sian Holmes and Pauline Hallam. Our aim is to visit every Wl every 314 years at their Annual Meeting. Sadly our membership numbers have reduced by about 100 members this year and we have seen the suspension of two ofour Wls. The good news is we have a brand new Wl in Barnsley. During 2023 we responded to 155 enquiries from potential new members but as yet it is too early to know how many of them have joined the Wl. The Wl Advisers are always willing to give help and supwrt to all our Wls so please contact us if you need any help or advice. Dorothy Meekins Team Leader Activities & Social Team We are happy to report that the Activities and Social Team have been working hard to organise a varied programme for our members in the corning 12 months. The regular items on the calendar are taking shape, Treasure Trnils in early surnrner and the Quizzes for the first week in October. Venues are always a little tricky for these events, big enough to hold ladies who like to attend, parking and of course location. It's easy to keep them in venues we know work but are very aware that it then means that the same people end up travelling. so we have tried this year to explore some new sites. We hope you will continue to support them again this year. both are usually well attendd. The Craft Club has only met a few times this year but we appreciate the feedback we have had with regards the sorts of things you would like to leam or improve on in future sessions. Again, we are aware that holding them at Hall Cross Cottage doesn't suit everyone and we are exploring ways that we Can make the Craft Club more accessible in other areas but cost implications make this difficult. Ple&se look out in News and Views for altemative 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 suptK)rted any or all of events in the last 12 months and if you have any ideas for events you would like to see, please drop us a line at the office or come along to the next Activitie5 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 availabl¢. Maureen Hall Team Leader Current Affairs and Resolution$ Team Our team slarted the year by thinking about how we could encourage members to engage more with the Wl Resolution process. We senl a questionnaire to all SYFWI Wls asking if they would like to participate in a Shortlisi Resolution event later in the year, once the shortlisi was published. The response was very mixed, with several Wls stating that there was now enough infomiation produced by NFWI in "Wl Life" and on MYWI for WIS to hold their own discussion meetings. However, half of the respondents said they would like such an event and this was held via Zoorn on 1st December. Those who attended found it very useful and gained extra background information into the 4 Shortlisted topics. If you are particularly interesteil in being more involved with the Resolulionlcampaigning side of the Wl, we plan to set up a "changemakers" gathering to potentially develop a SYFWI Resolution. If any of you have a particular interest in any previous Resolution and would like to attend this gathering as an "ambassador" for that Resolution, we would be pleased to hear from you. Watch out for more details in News and Views. Our next initiative was to have a stall ai the Doncaster Pride event in August. mim)ring other Federations in towns and cities where Pride events are held e.g. Bimiingham and Brighton. This was very worthwhile and gi)od for the Wl to have a presence alongside many other organisations and agencies that work for the public good. There was a lot of interest in our stall and our macrame pride bracelets went like hotcakesl We had to work hard to sell the image that the Wl is for women of all ages, as many of our customers kept saying'my GrandmalAunt/Mum" used to go to the Wl! Our main event, which took a lot of planning thmughout the year, was a return to our International Day fomat. The day was focussed on Nepal and South Asia with a variety of excellent speakers. The￿ was a150 a display stand with infonnation aboul the "Thinking Differently" campaign. Rebecca Chauhan and Beth Flitton, 2 SYFWI "ambassadors" for this campaign. were also on hand to give a personal perspective to thi5 campaign. As usual. Darron the manager of the Dinnington Resource Centre. where we held the event, provided us with excellent h05Pit2lily. We continue to use this venue for its reliability. C05t and good parking. Many positive comments were received about the day and we made a good surplus from the event because it was well attended - thank you for your suprK)rt. This goes a long way to making all the hard work and planning involved in such an event worthwhile. We're ringing the changes again this year by holding an "Inspirational women of Yorkshire" day on 22TrJ June (although the fomiat will run along the same lines as an Intemational Day). We hope you have saved the date! As alway5, if you have any ideas for Speaker5 or themes for future meetings, please get in contact.
