On 25th of each month, Soroptimists around the world join other organisations, including the UN, to ‘Orange the World’. Orange, the colour of hope represents a future free from violence against women and girls.
To publicise this, SI Cannock & District plan to visit a different local café each month, dressed in orange! They will take along information on where women who may be experiencing domestic abuse can get support, details of projects the club supports and other useful contacts. They will also enjoy a cup of coffee together.
25th July was their first ‘Orange Café’ outing! Seven members met at Savannah’s Tea Rooms in Rugeley who were great hosts, allowing the ladies to display their leaflets and goodies. They chatted to the people of Rugeley who were very welcoming and hopefully enjoyed the splash of colour on a grey July day!
The ladies enjoyed themselves so much that another Orange café has been arranged for 25th August! They will be in the restaurant at the Holly Bush Garden Centre, Warstone Road, Shareshill between 10am and 11:30am. They would be so pleased if you could go along and say hello! All details will be on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/SICannock
