Delicious Easter cakes, plenty of cups of tea and some cute handcrafted characters helped Lowton WI raise much needed funds for an important charity this April.
The event was the idea of Lowton WI members Anne Worthington, Dorothy Finch, Carole Leigh and Norma Clarkson, a group who’ve earned the nickname ‘The Crew’. They decided to hold a “Brew for the Crew” charity event for North West Air Ambulance. This included a popular cake sale, with lots of incredible Easter themed bakes.

Meanwhile, the WI’s craft group also got involved, creating some adorable Easter characters to sell for the cause, whilst the whole group supported a raffle at the event too.
These cute characters were popular sellers!
It meant in just one evening, the ladies raised a grand total of £129.60 to be donated to the incredible and lifesaving work of the air ambulance.
Will you join the next Brew for the Crew?
It’s pretty easy… you just need to come along with some cash, eat cakes and drink tea!
It’ll be held on Friday, 16 May at St Mary’s Community Hall from 1-3pm.

And it’s not just cake sales that these ladies enjoy (but don’t worry, they do enjoy them too!)
Each month Lowton WI try different activities, have interesting guest speakers, get involved in fundraisers or plan trips.
In April, their guest speaker was felt artist, Lisa Moore. She told the group the story of her craft career, why she fell in love with felt art and how she built a successful business from her passion.
Their next meeting will take place on Thursday, 1 May at 7.15pm in Lowton Social Club on Newton Road. Their guest speaker on the evening will be talking about local policing issues. And yes, there’ll aso be cake!
