Social and Fundraising

This page is currently being updated.

We get involved with many projects and charities – local, regional, national and international – and below are some of the projects we have supported over the years

Unfortunately, our members and our Club are unable to support applications from individuals seeking financial support for sponsored events; for individual applications for course or conference fees nor requests for financial support for overseas or UK working projects. Some sources of funding from Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland can be found via their website under ‘Our Charities’. S.I.Newcastle upon Tyne sets out its annual programme a year ahead and normally is not able to consider requests at shorter notice.
