Aldridge WI
Aldridge WI, West Midlands Federation, has been keeping in touch with its members throughout the entire lockdown period by having a weekly phone call rota run by the committee. This initiative has ensured that members get to speak to someone different each week, giving them the chance to check in on everyone. They have also produced a newsletter at least once a week which includes puzzles, tips to stay healthy, ideas to occupy the time, local news and businesses delivering food, useful websites and information from local Facebook pages which many of their members don't have access to. Aldridge WI members have loved these initiatives and look forward to the newsletter arriving in their inbox or the phone ringing and hearing a friendly voice to have a chat with.
