Soroptimist International - Lichfield and District

Soroptimist International of Lichfield and District is part of a worldwide organisation of women, which is linked to the United Nations.

Welcome to SI Lichfield and District

The name Soroptimist was created from the Latin “soror”,  meaning sister, and “optima” , meaning best, so Soroptimist means “the best for women’.

From the founding of the first Soroptimist club in California, in 1921, through to the present day where over 3000 clubs are flourishing throughout the world, Soroptimists have continued to strive to achieve ‘the best for women’ in every sphere of their lives.  Our clubs work across the globe to improve the lives of women and girls in our own countries and beyond.

SI (Soroptimist International) Lichfield & District was founded on 18th May 1998.

We are a group of 30 passionate and enthusiastic women who want to make a difference to the lives of other women and girls locally and internationally.
