Club information
Cannock Soroptimists are active in so many ways. We celebrate women and their achievements – of which there are many! We support women and children in their times of need. This may be through Domestic Abuse, poor health, inequality, any situation where they don't feel safe.
Whilst much of our work is concentrated in the local area we also support and celebrate women and girls nationally and globally.
Of course, whilst doing all of this – we enjoy friendship and have fun!!
