The POPP’s fund-raising Open Day at Pett Village Hall on Saturday May 5 was a great success. There was a good turnout, despite the weather and a wide variety of stalls and attractions. Amber Rudd MP came along and the day’s efforts raised, before expenses, £700 towards future POPP activities.

The process ensures that every WI member has the opportunity to set the direction of the NFWI campaigns and policy, from the grassroots up. This year’s resolution is to request the Government to train and employ more midwives.
