Let me count the ways!\u00a0 \u00a0At the heart of our Club is our desire to stand up for women and girls.\u00a0 \u00a0By inspiring action and transforming lives we want to open doors to a bright future for them.\u00a0 \u00a0 Our Club works to support women on so many levels and in so many ways including partnership with the local Lions<\/h1>\n

So let’s have a look\u00a0 at just what have we achieved recently with our Programme Action and Fundraising :-<\/h2>\n

World wide<\/h2>\n

Club members enjoyed ‘Afternoon Tea’\u00a0 where we could mix business with pleasure.\u00a0 \u00a0We bought second hand books and gifts made by Friends of Sick Children in Malawi<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0Although limited to Soroptimists due to Covid we have still managed to raise over \u00a3500 at two sociable events.\u00a0 \u00a0This will be pay for the education of a nurse to work in the paediatric department at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital Blantyre.\u00a0 \u00a0The hospital sees around 100,000 children a year and over 24,000 need to be admitted.\u00a0 \u00a0Paying for the education of this nurse in Malawi will definitely be transforming the lives<\/em> <\/strong>of so many children.<\/p>\n
