District 11 Chairman Jane Ingram

Another year begins! Many of us are taking office for the umpteenth time while some, like me, are entering a new experience where we are full of hope, excitement and trepidation of what the year may hold, all in equal measure.
It is a privilege and honour to serve as your District Chairman; I will be wearing the chain of office with pride.

My attraction to Inner Wheel has always been service, sprinkled with friendship. It was the lynchpin in my upbringing and it’s what sets Inner Wheel apart from other women’s organisations. We are unique. This year, I am hoping we will all find new ways of offering a service in our communities. 
My chosen charity is “Solent Mind” a mental health charity that spans a majority of our district. It is under the umbrella of “Mind” which offers help, support, workshops and support for families affected by a loved one’s mental illness. A Majority of families know of someone who is affected by a greater or lesser degree.
I hope you will wish to support this charity. It is not necessarily about raising money but raising awareness and understanding the difficulties that accompany mental illness. 

I wish you well for the coming year. 

Jane Ingram
