Weekly Round-Up: Karen Barden’s Presentation

This week, Karen Barden delivered a moving presentation on her role in the creation of Genesis House in Ukraine—a safe haven for abandoned children in Kyiv. The campaign, driven by local nurse Pat Harrison and supported by Norman Wisdom, gained crucial momentum thanks to Karen’s powerful media coverage, helping raise over £70,000.
A skilled journalist and writer, Karen specialises in creative, compelling content for clients ranging from charities to national organisations. Her passion for language and commitment to meaningful work continues to make a real impact—locally and beyond.
We had 24 members attend and ended the meeting with 5 referrals and over £8,000 in member-generated business.
