Resolutions:

This year the WI has two resolutions that are being put forward to the National AGM in June.

We will be holding the vote for Frome WI members at our May AGM, if you cannot make this and wish to register your vote please send us an email or contact us via facebook confirming by 4pm 16th May whether you wish to vote in Favour or against each of the following:

Avoid food waste, address food poverty
' The WI calls on all supermarkets to sign up to a voluntary agreement to avoid food waste, thereby passing surplus food on to charities thus helping to address the issue of increasing poverty in the UK.' 

Appropriate care in hospitals for people with dementia
'We call upon HM Government and the NHS to provide facilities to enable carers to stay with people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia that have been admitted to hospital.'

Our members can vote for or against each of these resolutions, each resolution should not be voted for over the other but each should be considered independently and vote for or against each of them.  This means that we could end up with one, two or no resolutions this year, and remember each members vote counts!

If you click on either of the above resolutions this should take you to the detailed briefing notes so you can find out more.
