75 Soroptimists and guests from the North West Region enjoyed an inspiring talk by Irini Tzortzoglou Masterchef Winner 2019 on Saturday 16th November at Cartmel Village Hall.

Proceeds from the event will go to Growing Well. This is a mental heath charity, organic farm and training centre near Kendal , supporting adults with mental health problems. https://www.growingwell.co.uk/

Irini talked about her Masterchef journey and the fun, friendship and hard work involved. It was great for Soroptimists to hear of the bond between the 3 female finalists and Irini observing that we can achieve so much, not just as women but as women of 60, as she won Masterchef at that age!

The afternoon was rounded off with a marvellous afternoon tea and we have raised £415 for Growing Well.

Several members then went  with Irini in December to present the cheque to Growing well
