Hampshire Federation’s response to the vote for the 2016 resolutions totalled 5279 votes: a higher percentage than last year, and this is climbing year by year.  The results from the 172 WIs are as follows:

2) British fruit: reviving our heritage ……………………………………………… 281

3) Free sanitary protection for homeless women …………………………….. 679

“It is interesting that there are so many close results this year; usually one resolution streaks ahead. i wonder if the final numbers for the whole country are like this. I think the results reflects the diversity of the resolutions and the fact that some of them are capable of being followed up by individual WIs.” Judy Bacon – Resolutions Advisor – HCFWI.
