Welcome to SI Lancaster
Soroptimist International of Lancaster is one of a number of clubs in the North West Region. Our members come from all walks of life. The club is active, involved in an extensive range of projects locally and internationally.
Our most popular committee is Programme Action which is engaged in a number of projects on a long term basis, e.g. providing support for a local Women’s Refuge, WaterAid, and of course supporting the White Ribbon Campaign which is aimed at raising awareness of violence against women.

Along with Soroptimists International and many local clubs across the UK we lobby parliament and well as our local MPs, campaigning on issues particularly those that relate to women and girls.
Meetings
We meet twice a month at 7 pm, on the second and fourth Thursdays. The first of our two monthly meeting is our business meetings were we discuss and agree our plans. IN summer this meeting is held in in Trinity Church Hall Bowerham. However, as the nights draw in and the weather becomes more unpredictable we hold these meeting as teleconferencing events. The second meeting is were we invite outside speakers, who cover a wide range of topics and is still held in the Holiday Inn in Lancaster.
In addition to our month meetings there are a range of social events to participate in if you wish. These include celebrating and supporting International Days, such as International Women’s Day and International Day of Peace along side more informal events.
