Who we are and what we do
Soroptimist International is a truly International Organisation operating in 130 countries:
-
We work to support women and girls at International, national and local level
-
Working at the local level allows us autonomy over what we support and the ability to see and adjust the impact of our choices
Some of the activities of Bedford Soroptimists include:
-
Discussion and debate about a wide variety of topics of local, national and international importance such as concerns related to violence against women, educational opportunity and the well-being of children and aging
-
Taking up matters at a local level e.g. lobbying MPs on issues of importance
-
Raising money for local, national and international charities
-
Running a housing scheme for women of limited means
-
Continuing our friendship links with other clubs including in the West Indies
-
Having fun – with food, friendship and outings
