Burnley Circle held its first ever joint meeting with Blackburn with Ribble Valley Circle on 14 June at Burnley Football Club. There was a great turn out of Brothers and wives.
After the meal, Stephanie Beech, who had benefited from a Catenian Bursary award to support her 12 month stay in India, gave a presentation of her experiences of working with an order of nuns in schools and charities in different parts of the country. A spontaneous collection followed her presentation and raised £240 to support the work of the Maher organisation https://maherashram.org/ a charity set up to identify and understand the root causes of violence and despair experienced by women and children in India and to provide support services.
