ANNE AINSWORTH APPEAL
Members of Soroptimist International of Cambridge were deeply saddened by the loss of Anne Ainsworth, who died on 10th February 2022. She was a Soroptimist for nearly 50 years and our President four times, International Treasurer and an honorary member of the Federation.
Her knowledge of, and devotion to Soroptimism was legendary as was her kindness as a friend.
SI Cambridge members will miss her in this, our 75th Anniversary year.
It was Anne’s wish to offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to an aspiring accountant from a developing country- to undertake a work placement within a leading accountancy firm in the UK, and to that end an appeal has been set up in Anne’s memory.
