24.01.2022 This lovely image was sent to us by Jose Patrick, Group reporter for the Spencer Group. This beautiful Christmas decoration was made by Jennifer Hentschell. It is a Christmas tree made from recycled materials: cardboard, string, gumnuts, pine cones and lights. A wonderful addition to the Christmas table.

23.01.2022 We'd like to thank Sharon from the Salvation Army, who performed The Last Post today for Remembrance Day. Lest we forget.

15.01.2022 If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise ..... It’s picnic time for the teddy bears at the SACWA Adelaide Arcade Pop Up Shop. So much of the stock in the shop is ‘handmade with love’ by a SACWA member, are a one off and very unique. Give a gift of love.

15.01.2022 The ladies in the Pop Up Shop were delighted to have a visit from our Patron, Mrs Le this morning. As our Patron we appreciate her ongoing support for the Association and always enjoy her cheerful visits. Our face masks are proving very popular and we are always selling out, if you would like to make masks for the shop it would be greatly appreciated. They can be dropped off at SACWA State Office, 30 Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town. We appreciate all your support. #AdelaideArcade #RundleMall

14.01.2022 Tempting Tuesday: We've had a busy day at the shop so we are late posting. We treated the Adelaide Arcade traders to Devonshire Tea today to say thank you for supporting and promoting our Pop Up Shop. We made 170 scones so the recipe for Tempting Tuesday is Lemonade Scones: 3 cups SR flour 1 cup lemonade 1 cup cream Preheat oven to 200 degress celcius. Mix ingredients together with a bread knife, don't overmix as it will make the scones dense. Turn onto floured surface, knea...d gently just 3 to 5 times to bring dough together then gently pat into a disc shape 2.5cm thick. Cut out rounds with a scone cutter, straight up and down, don't twist. Place scones on tray slightly touching, this helps them to rise. Bake for 15 minutes then place on rack to cool. Cover with tea towel to stop tops going crusty, unless you like crusty tops! Serve with lashings of jam and cream. #AdelaideArcade #DevonshireTea #scones #RundleMall #CityofAdeliade #jamandcream See more

11.01.2022 On #WorldAIDSDay, we stand in solidarity with all those living with or affected by HIV and remember the people we have lost. We continue to support those spread...ing awareness about the disease and fighting the stigma that it carries. The WI was one of the first UK organisations to talk about HIV and AIDS following its 1986 resolution ‘to inform the general public of the true facts concerning the disease AIDS’ and used its unrivalled network of local organisations to educate the public and get people talking about the issue. WI members campaigned to debunk the myth that HIV/AIDS wasn’t a women’s issue. The NFWI teamed up with The Terrence Higgins Trust to produce the leaflet ‘Women and AIDS’. Throughout the following years, WI members participated in the Government’s awareness raising campaign and challenged prejudiced media representations of HIV/AIDS.

08.01.2022 Women from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities may be more susceptible to particular forms of abuse like forced marriage or female genital mutilation (...FGM).They are likely to face additional barriers to receiving the help they need and stay longer in those abusive relationships due to the barriers associated with leaving. Specialist frontline services for BAME communities and migrant women are also few and far between. The ‘no recourse to public funds’ rule can also be a major barrier for migrant women trying to escape abuse and access support. We need a system that is fair and equal for all survivors of domestic abuse.

04.01.2022 Throwback Thursday: When you are planning your visit to the SACWA Pop Up Shop in the Adelaide Arcade make sure you leave yourself enough time to discover the history of the Arcade. The Adelaide Arcade was opened in 1885 and was hailed as the most modern shopping precinct in the Southern Hemisphere. Did you know that over its three century lifespan, Adelaide Arcade has been home to many interesting tenants - one of the most exotic was the Turkish Baths, where you had your choi...ce of warm baths for a shilling or Turkish baths for four shillings. Beneath the main floor was an underground chamber where patrons could enjoy refreshments. While the entrance was closed for many years, the tea rooms are now visible through a glass floor that has been built over the original ironwork staircase. Take a full virtual tour on the #adelaidearcade website, and learn more about the history of our gorgeous arcade https://adelaidearcade.com.au/history #adelaidearcade #rundlemall #cityofadelaide See more
