Christmas can be a tough time if you’ve lost someone.
One of our listeners, Ruth, got in touch to share her tips on how to talk to people who are grieving.
Ruth’s 12-year-old son died earlier this year – here are her tips on what to do and say at this time of year ⬇️
5 members are looking forward to attending Belfast Conference. Will be great meeting with other clubs and being wowed by excellent speakers. We are taking the opportunity to stay on to explore this beautiful city. @SIGBI1@SI_MidlandArden@SICoventry1
A perfect day at #Goldsborough Hall to celebrate the Club’s 89th chartered year. Honoured guests Cllr Victoria Oldham, Mayor of Harrogate Borough and Lindsay Green President of SI Yorkshire. Great to have guests from Clubs throughout #YORKSHIRE
Club members with guests from SI #Ilkley and #Dewsbury enjoyed a wonderful & thought provoking day at the @Nat_Mem_Arb in Staffordshire. Shame the #Soroptimist memorial is damaged. Highly recommend the little train trip to learn more about the memorials. @SIGBI1
