Presidents Message

Welcome to our Club!  You may not be familiar  with the work of the Soroptimists, but here in Great Yarmouth we have worked for almost 40 years  to support and improve  the lives of women and children locally and worldwide.

As a club we meet twice a month and these meetings include hosting speakers, club business, and working on a Programme of Action which tackles issues including education, the environment, health and domestic violence. My theme for the year as President is “Lifelong Learning” and many of my speakers will support this theme, other speakers will relate to our  Programme Action work.

Alongside our work, we also like to play!  We arrange social events which help raise funds for the charities we support, and where we can enjoy each other’s company. My year as President will include a number of events including a Cocktails & Canapé’s evening, Coffee Mornings and a special Christmas Event at the local Nelson Museum. It will end with our Annual Lunch, where we will welcome Reilly Dempsey a Programme Director from Soroptimist International, as our guest speaker.

This year the club will continue to  raise funds to help local charities, including our Women’s Refuges, Macmillan Cancer Care, a selection of Children Charities and Community Learning and Wellbeing initiatives.
