If you’re interested in finding out more about Suspended, or donating towards its completion please get in touch with Katharine Seaton, katharine.s.seaton@gmail.com  The St Albans & Hertsmere women’s group wrote this poem together for Refugee Week:
FAMILY Missing our Family And wanting to bring them together Many of us are missing our mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers Important because every Syrian family is not happy Love to bring them here. We are lucky because some of our children are here, getting a good education and we are safe here You can help us to find a safe place for our family and support us to bring some of our family to safety here.  We had a great Eid women’s lunch at St Mary’s Church Ware. A volunteer brought a delicious homemade rice and lamb dish and there were also many addictive sugary pastries.
The Ware women were joined by women from Hatfield and further afield. Everyone enjoyed themselves chatting and meeting new friends. We are delighted to announce that Robert Voss CBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, has agreed to become our Patron.
He was appointed Her Majesty The Queen’s Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire in 2017, a position he will hold until 2028. He was awarded a CBE in 2014 for “services to British Industry and voluntary work in the UK.” We look forward to working with him and benefiting from his experience and contacts throughout the county. |
