Our club was formed in 1953 by local women who wanted to make a positive difference to the lives of women locally, nationally and globally
We work together to empower women and girls at home and abroad to reach their full potential
If you want to find out more about our club you can get in touch to arrange to come to a meeting, or if you prefer meet up with a couple of members over a coffee for a chat about what our club can offer you.
‘Programme Action’ is the name of the work that Soroptimists do. We all want to make a difference in our local community and the wider world through raising awareness of issues and giving practical help through fundraising for charities. Every year we have a conference where members gather from all over our Federation, and every four years we have a global convention, which next year is in Prague.
We meet between September and April on the second and fourth Mondays in the month, usually at 7pm. However, over the winter months we have a Zoom meeting, as well as some afternoon meetings. We usually meet at the Dean Park Hotel in Kirkcaldy, but also have some alternative venues throughout the year. See the programme for details.

Our club was founded in 1953 and members continue to participate in all aspects of Soroptimism. We campaign, we lobby, we take practical action and everything is aimed at improving the lives of women and girls.
Our current President is Patricia Davidson, and we have club officers for our project work, which is called ‘Programme Action’, as well as convenors of other committees such as Communications, Membership and Events and Syllabus. We also have a Treasurer and Secretary.
We’re currently involved in fundraising for Guide Dogs, and we regularly volunteer to collect for Marie Curie, We also donated a large sum to jak’s Den, and have recently held a coffee morning for Macmillan and collected over £550. We campaign for women’s and girls’ safety on the railways and are involved with helping women in the justice system,
