I have had a number of engagements with the WAITS organisation during the course of my Shrieval year.
Women Acting In Todays Society is led by the wonderful Marcia Lewinson and they support women across the West Midlands with 4 Core services in relation to Help with Domestic Abuse, Refuge Accommodation, Community Integration and Volunteering and Influencing.
The SEEKER’s Board is a group of empowered women who are experts by experience, working with WAITS to change policy on gender-based violence and share their experience with them to improve policies. SEEKER’s Board stands for Sharing Experience, Expertise and Knowledge for Effective Response.
I was honoured to present a High Sheriffs Award to this group of women who are acting to improve the lives of their fellow citizens.
