At the recent May meeting of the St Andrews Women's Group, members had the privilege of welcoming Francis Illing, a former officer with the Metropolitan Police Force. His experiences in the Vice Squad provided a shocking yet eye-opening insight into the world of crime, particularly in relation to online abuse of children. Illing emphasised the importance of discussing these dangers with grandchildren, noting that they often value advice from grandparents more than from their parents. This highlights a significant responsibility for those in that role.

The discussion also covered distressing topics such as prostitution and pornography, shedding light on issues that many attendees were previously unaware of. Despite the serious nature of the subject matter, the evening concluded with home-made refreshments, fostering a sense of community among members.

Looking ahead, the group will convene again on Wednesday, June 4th, with Paul Mercer set to be the next guest speaker. This will be another opportunity for members to engage with important topics and strengthen community ties.
