On 3rd October, as well as a management committee meeting, we had our co-op meeting. During this engaging afternoon we discussed how to continue to make holidays possible for women and children – whatever their income. We looked at:
- Increasing our income– through more visitors, partnerships and widening our fundraising
- Renovating the coach house – to make self-contained worker accommodation and office space
- Creating a history of Horton –celebrating 35 years of warm, welcoming and wonderful space for women and children
A big thank you to the wonderful women who shared their ideas and experiences!
We are always looking for new members to join us with fresh energy and commitment!
