Funky Fitness and Fun show off their mini bus to the WI

Meanwhile, at their August meeting, the WI were delighted to welcome back their 2015 chosen charity, Funky Fitness and Fun, which provides activities for adults with additional needs.

They visited to show off their minibus which they purchased with the help of funds raised by the WI, and which they constantly use for day trips, outings and more.

Next, the guest speaker for their meeting on September 6 will be Sue Burnett with the Anita Roddick Story; how she started the Body Shop 40 years ago, her ethics, beliefs, campaigns, the difference they have made to our planet and the on-going charity work that carries on the legacy she left behind.

The Saddleworth WI meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 8pm at Saddleworth Hotel. Doors open at 7.15pm. New members and guests are always welcome. Further information can be found online: www.saddleworthwi.com or on their Facebook page.
