We’re a friendly, welcoming group of women of all ages, from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and walks of life. We each bring different interests, skills and perspectives—but we are united by friendship and a shared desire to make a positive difference.
Buxton and District Soroptimists are part of a global movement dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls through practical action, advocacy and community support. For over 54 years, our members have worked together to champion education, equality and wellbeing.
We’re a warm, welcoming group of women of all ages and backgrounds, each bringing different interests and experiences.
Whether you’re working, retired, new to the area or seeking friendship, you’ll find good company, shared purpose and a place to belong.
We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month, except in August. Business meetings run from 7pm to 9pm on second Wednesdays, while fourth Wednesdays feature our dinner meeting at High Peak Bookstore often with a guest speaker. January and February meetings are online.
Throughout the year, we enjoy engaging meetings, inspiring guest speakers, special events and outings.
We also raise funds and support charities locally, nationally and internationally, helping to create meaningful, lasting impact for people and communities at home and further afield.
Buxton and District Soroptimists demonstrated the power of community spirit with a fantastic fundraising event in support of Peak Pantry.
Each year we organise events or collections to support women rebuilding their lives after escaping domestic abuse
