This year our local charity will be Childrens Centres. Our regional project is the Cameroons and our International support goes to Project Sierra. Last year the general theme for the year is to learn about refugees and asylum seekers. This is especially important for our club as Loughborough is the main sorting town for people in this situation to register themselves. We raised money which was donated to the British Red Cross for asylum seekers and Refuge Action
Last year we worked with Soroptimists in India to provide toilets in girl’s schools and a well for a village. We have raised enough money so far via a craft fair to initiate the start of another block of toilets and a well in another village in the area. Our ongoing local work involves supporting a carers group, supporting a womans hostel and getting involved in Charnwood Talking News which provides cassette tapes to the local blind with excerpts of the Loughborough Echo.
Dates of Meetings and Social Events can be perused under Forthcoming Events. The club tends to meet on the first Tuesday of the month at John Storer House at 7.30pm. Social events take place as and when they are organized. This can involve a weekday or weekend depending on what we have in mind.
