HUNDREDS of pounds have been donated to Andover Foodbank by The Hampshire Whitchurch Women’s Institute group (WI)

Following Whitchurch WI’s two weeks in Rotations Charity Shop in the town in July, three committee members presented a cheque for £500 to the foodbank in September.

Two others charities also benefited from the WI’s fundraising efforts in the charity shop this year: Hampshire and IOW Air Ambulance, and Hampshire Search and Rescue.

The Hampshire Whitchurch Women’s Institute is a friendly, mixed-age group of ladies who usually come together on the third Thursday of every month.

They get together to socialise with old friends and make new friends, take part in activities, and learn about interesting topics. Meetings vary from speakers on subjects that interest the group, craft activities and social evenings. 

They also involved in the local community through volunteering and fundraising and joining together with other local organisations.
