The Soroptimist Bristol Orange Café Meeting a local volunteer-driven group of women aiming to raise awareness of violence against women and the work Soroptimists have done for the last 100 years in Bristol.
These meetings are being held by Soroptimist Clubs around the world – a membership of 72,000 women worldwide.
You would find us easily, as we will be dressed in orange! Why orange, you ask? Well, the colour orange symbolises a bright, fresh future, as designated by the United Nations, and it’s used around the world for that purpose.
The Orange Café meeting is held regularly on or near the 25th of the month in various coffee shops in the city. The 25th of the month is significant, as it is the UN designated #OrangeDay, a campaign aimed at raising awareness of the prevalence of violence against women and the devastating impact it has on individuals, families, and communities. We are promoting a culture of respect, equality, and understanding.
Our first Orange Café was held at Boston Tea Party in Whiteladies Road on Friday, 23rd June when we talked about violence against women and the other work of Soroptimists with women for women.
Join us for our next Orange Café! We’ll advertise the date and venue soon.
