President Hilary Knight

I am proud to say I have taken on the role of President for Soroptimist International The Wrekin. I am married with 2 children and now 5 grandchildren all of whom keep me busy. I joined Soroptimist International the Wrekin because I want to support women and girls and enable them to reach their full potential.

Everyone in our club brings knowledge, expertise and or plain common sense to the table. Some are creative, others are good at starting things and others at finishing, some are ‘thinkers’ some ‘doers’. This recipe makes a fantastic Team of which I am proud to be part of and I am confident this year we will continue making a difference to the lives of women and girls both at home and abroad.

‘Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.’ (Helen Keller)

So if you would like to make a difference please come and join us.
