April was our Resolution meeting and we debated the two Resolutions that are to go forward to the NFWI Annual General Meeting in Brighton in June.
Jo Stoddart presented the case ‘for and against’ for the resolution “We call upon HM Government and the NHS to provide facilities to enable carers to stay with people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia that have been admitted into hospital” – after a lively discussion a vote was taken and everyone voted to adopt the campaign.
Ann Finch presented the case ‘for and against’ for the resolution “The WI calls on all supermarkets to sign up to a voluntary agreement to avoid food waste, thereby passing surplus food on to charities thus helping to address the issue of increasing food proverty in the UK” a very lively discussion followed 12 voted yes, in its current form with 10 against, the remaining 14 would be for the resolution if it became a compulsory agreement similar to that implemented by the French government – it was felt this would enable supermarkets to legally pass on surplus foods.
