The two Soroptimist Regions in Scotland, the North and South, recently held a Joint Conference at McDiarmid Park, Perth. The theme of the conference was Stepping Up and Leading the Way. One of the keynote speakers was Scotland’s former Lord Advocate, Dame Elish Angiolini, who gave an inspiring talk on women in the justice system.

Another speaker was from the charity Smalls for All and many conference delegates took new pants and ‘lightly worn’ bras to donate. The items of underwear will be sorted and sent to various countries in Africa to help women and children in orphanages, refugee camps, slums and schools. As of May 2017 the charity has distributed over 327,000 items of underwear.
