Our Club is one of the oldest service clubs for women in the world, founded in 1920 as a Venture Club. The club merged with the Soroptimist International movement in 1930. It is a warm, friendly, professional, vibrant club which aims to find new solutions to challenges affecting women and girls, supporting communities in Bristol, as well as worldwide. Members of Soroptimist International of Bristol focus on making a real difference.
