Every February, the WI have the “Show the Love” annual celebration of everything we care about and want to protect.
Within the last year, which has not been like no other, it has made us value what we love more than ever. As making group display or meetings are not advised due to COVID-19 guidance; why not take part in this challenge. Between the Show the Love period (1st to 21st Feb) we are challenging you to post in social media with images from your local area, your artwork or creative writing; your stories or pledges. To make this interesting we have come up with prompts for each day. Why not send your images to us for the NottinghamshireWI Facebook page?.email suzanneplamping@nottswi.org.uk
