Our village WI are very active every year supporting local charities that make a difference, and this year they are supporting Honeypot Children's Charity who support young carers between the ages of 5 and 13.

A group of Milford on Sea WI members visited the Honeypot Children's Charity in Southampton on Friday 8th November 2024 and had an informative and interesting tour with Viv Carter, the Community Engagement Manager.
