Our final meeting of the year was on Thursday 1st December. In the middle of the MU International No More 1 in 3 Awareness Campaign for ending all forms of the abuse against women and girls. This Campaign ran from the 25th November to 10th December. The last day coinciding with the International Day of Human Rights. During the Campaign, daily prayer vigils were said at midday. Posters were placed around the village and church raising the profile of those who are exposed to these horrors urging us all to be vigilant and speak out for those in danger. During the meeting we were able to collect £40.00 for charities combating Gender Based Violence.

After the Christmas lull, the Hall is gearing up for a busy spring.
