A very crucial and productive meeting with CBS (3 levels of management) to discuss and progress training within teams and branches to understand and spot the signs of abuse, especially financial abuse.
Thank you to all involved and look forward to seeing you all again in September.
It is everyone's business! Do not look away!
Another bank ticked from my list!
Yes we were in 2 places at once!
Our team of event volunteers (including our Chair Woman), 3 of them their very first time, spent the day in 2 places, covering the Xcel 10th Anniversary Event in Coventry and Warwickshire Pride in Leamington.
We raised awareness, listened to disclosures and offered our support to all those we spoke with, had some laughter with the Bucking Bronco, plus we got to meet Matty from Emmerdale!
A little bit windy but what a fabulous day was had by all! The volunteers were just brilliant! Thank you to everyone involved and to all those we met on the day! #TeamBonding
This was another great day in the history of CHWA with the birth of the charity partnership with Health Matters on Siskin Drive.
Their support for CHWA will cover all angles and we are excited to be working with them!
Jaime collected another £730 fro the Finance Department for the women and children we support.
It was lovely to meet with Michelle (their FCO) again and then be involved in their department 'Huddle' presenting to all those who donated for the Summer Refuge Day Trip.
A MASSIVE thank you as always for your ongoing support!
A fantastic group of volunteers from CBS spent a day at our Hen Lane office, painting the walls, shed and fence in the back garden.
What a fabulous effort from both men and women from CBS to create a safe and relaxing break out area for staff and clients to use and enjoy.
They have also taken some brilliant ideas back to their departments and Community Champions for their fundraising, and uses for the money...
A HUGE thank you to all involved!
They'll be back.....
Our new volunteer training programme began 7th August 2018, spread over 4 weeks to deliver a comprehensive activity based learning to equip our volunteers and students with the knowledge and tools they need to ensure a full and complete service delivery to our service users.
Lots of very positive feedback...
A kind invitation for lunch to present to the club about the services we deliver, was followed with an offer of funding from the Treasurer, including a cheque, which is greatly appreciated.
The letter requesting funding has been posted with details of the project the monies will fund; fingers crossed!
Thank you to all at the Rotary Club of North Coventry for your kind hospitality.
Jaime delivered an interview regarding a victims ability to have paid time off work to assist with support etc if experiencing DVA.
With the changes in the Domestic Abuse Bill, this is an ideal opportunity for the Government to take the lead (like New Zealand) with providing employers with a commitment to provide paid leave if someone discloses DVA, to cope with support, deal with the police and other agencies.
More to follow, we are sure....
A great time spent with Kate Hills at The Watch charity in Hillfields to present to their latest group of budding Radio Presenters.
Great to meet you all and see you soon Kate!
What an amazing day the service users and their children had in Skegness in July!
Once again this was funded by the Heart of England Foundation but also subsidised by Coventry Building Society.
The smiles and laughs throughout the day didn't end and everyone had the best day ever!
