💦💧The WI Week of River Action is here! This week, WI members are making waves for clean waters and calling for water reform that stops the polluters, fixes the broken water system, and restores nature. This must include getting serious on microplastic pollution. Our report on microplastic pollution, launched last week, shows that sewage – both raw and treated – is a major pathway for microplastics and other harmful substances to enter nature and the food chain. mywi.thewi.org.uk/public-affairs-and-campaigns/current-campaigns/clean-rivers-for-people-and-wild... It’s not too late to get involved. If you’re a member, find out how you can take action on MyWI. #WIWeekofRiveraction #WICleanRivers #WIEndPlasticSoup #CleanWaterNowDon't forget to let us know what you get up to for Week of River Action this year; you may be featured in WI Life!

💛 Suicide Awareness Month 💛September is Suicide Awareness Month — a time to pause, check in, and remember that sometimes the people who seem absolutely fine may be struggling more than we realise.A simple “How are you?” can mean so much.A cup of tea ☕A message 💬A proper chat 👥Just being there and listening.You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to know exactly what to say. Sometimes, letting someone know that you care and that they don’t have to face things alone is enough to start a conversation.Here at Backwell WI, we’re proud to be part of a community where friendship, support, and looking out for each other matters. So next month, we're launching our 'chatty table' at our Backwell WI October Meeting - Dogs for the Deaf (we can't at our September meeting, as people will be on their feet learning how to ceilidh!) 💛#SuicideAwarenessMonth #letstalk #BeKind #Community #YouAreNotAlone
