Coming up in September

A Three Mills walk, CPR and defibrillator basics and a cuppa at Clarnico Club – coming up in September

Our monthly walk: Three Mills

Saturday 13th September, meet 11.00 am at the bridge by the Tesco Bromley by Bow car park adjacent to Three Mills

A lovely suggestion this month from one of our walking group: we could perhaps walk up the Lea Navigation to Hackney Wick with its buzzing café scene, or have a recce around the new Sugar island area and possibly head down to Cody Dock.

Our monthly meeting: Bystanders can be Lifesavers

Thursday 18th September, 7 pm for 7.30 at St Margaret’s House, 21 Old Ford Road, London E2 9PL, entrance via the gate to the left. (If you’re joining us for the first time, feel free to email us and someone will meet you at the entrance on Old Ford Road.)

At the 2025 NFWI Annual Meeting on 4 June, WI members voted in favour of the Bystanders Can Be Lifesavers resolution.

Only approx 7% of people survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest in the UK.

Early CPR (often known as cardiac massage) and defibrillation can more than double the chances of survival.

With this in mind, our very own Sally, a cancer nurse, will introduce us to the basics of CPR and use of a defibrillator.

We provide the training defib but please bring a cushion each for practising the CPR – we won't be expecting anyone to practice on a dummy on the floor!

We also plan to take a look at the distribution of defibrillators in our own patch of The East End.

There will be a chance for those who weren’t at the last meeting to make their name badge. 

Our monthly coffee morning: Clarnico Club

Friday 26th September 10.30-11.00, Clarnico Club, 1 Tandy Place, E20 3AS

Our monthly coffee and meet-up.

Clarnico Club is on the 388 bus route or a five minute walk from Hackney Wick station (Mildmay Line), or from Stratford International DLR it's a walk through East Village and across the North part of the Olympic Park.
