The Power of Petitioning

September's meeting found Llangynog WI members chatty and happy to be back after the summer, reflecting on social activities in August, including the adventures of Cherry Anne, the attractive Llangynog scarecrow.

Business over, speaker Helen Missen, gave an informative and uniquely personal talk on raising awareness of Eating Disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa, showing, how through her unparalleled efforts, strategies and increased funding are being put into place in Eating Disorder Treatment in Wales.

The recognition of eating disorders, their causes and effects, and the need for early intervention and continued support, especially between adolescence and adulthood is an obvious priority.

Helen gave a clear, thought provoking and moving description of what led up to her original petition and the tireless work that continues to drive the development of this essential treatment forward.

Members continued to discuss matters over a really tasty supper and looking forward to future events.
