Many thanks to everyone who came to our Harvest Supper on Tues 11 October. The huge spread of delicious food was marvellous and we all enjoyed an evening of laugher, friendship and full tummies.
In a departure to the norm we decided to fund raise at our Harvest Supper for local charity Yellow Submarine. Yellow Submarine was started by a young couple who live in Fulbrook, initially to provide holidays for adults with additional needs. From this first holiday has grown a charity of regional significance – with three cafes, hubs in Witney, Abingdon and Didcot and a whole range of youth clubs, holiday clubs and holidays for both children and adults with additional needs.
One of our members has particular experience of Yellow Submarine and the support they give to her son who has autism, ADHD and learning difficulties. The NFWI this year is campaigning to raise awareness of the difficulties of getting a diagnosis of autism or ADHD, especially for women and girls, and the general lack of support for all individuals with the conditions.
