Ditchling Downs WI: The speaker for the February meeting was Dorothy Porter who described the wonderful work of the Samaritans. This is a registered charity aimed at providing support for anyone in emotional distress or at risk of suicide.

The Samaritans receive over 5 million calls a year, one every 6 seconds. There are now 201 branches across the UK and Ireland with over 2,000 volunteers. The annual coffee morning this year is in Ditchling Village Hall on Tuesday 19 February from 9.30 until 11am. Please come and join us. The next regular monthly meeting is on Tuesday 5 March in the Old Meeting House, the Twitten, Ditchling. 7 for 7.30pm. The speaker is Dr Anne Weaver on the subject of Emergency Medicine.
