Celebrating 70 years
Soroptimists in Dunfermline celebrated 70 years of service in 2020. Our club was chartered in 1950. It is a daughter club of SI Edinburgh and mother club to SI Kirkcaldy. Celebrations were planned for 2020 but had to be postponed. However our work continued and we are looking forward to the future.

Stitches for Survival
Two members of the club made panels as part of the Stitches for Survival Project for COP26. Panels could be knitted, crocheted or stitched and had to be 100cms by 60 cms. These panels were sewn together and hung at Glasgow Green on the 6th of November during the COP 26 event. The aim was to make a scarf measuring 1,5 miles to represent 1.5 degrees to highlight the target temperature change. 1500 panels were made across the UK and we were delighted to be part of this craftivism raising awareness of climate change.
