This is a charity that supports women who are sexually exploited or trafficked for sex. <strong>Chosen<\/strong> provides such women with hope for an alternative future away from control, exploitation and addiction by providing an alternative place of belonging for them. Richard started with a quiz to give us all an idea of the scale of the problem right across the UK, with social media and the availability of drugs making it worse then ever.<\/p>\n<p>Richard spoke about how unconditional and consistent acts of generosity to sexually <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/360-Chosen-homeless.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6963\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/360-Chosen-homeless-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"Chosen homeless\" width=\"200\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/360-Chosen-homeless-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/360-Chosen-homeless.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>exploited women can enable them to walk free from coercion and addiction, and into new and restored community life. Chosen has outreach volunteers who walk out in the streets every Tuesday evening meeting women working on the streets. The team carries home-made cakes, umbrellas and every day essential items that promote the well-being of women they meet. Richard told us the real story of &#8220;Phyllis&#8221; &#8211; they had met her 18 times before she came into the centre for help &#8211; she was sick, suicidal and had no clothes.\u00a0 She had been trafficked into the UK and had hit rock bottom &#8211; she became homeless and the money she earned as a sex worker was paying for the drug habit of both her and her controller. Richard only had one slide to show us &#8211; showing the horrendous conditions she had been living in. After a lot of intervention and more hardship, including imprisonment for shoplifting (where Chosen were her only visitors), she was deported to her home country. She remains grateful for the non-judgemental kindness she received from Chosen and Richard stayed in contact. He told us that she is still drug-clean, healthy and has a future and lots of ideas to prevent others having a worse outcome than hers. One idea is a drop-in centre which is being worked on.\u00a0 As always there were great questions &#8211; leading to conversations about the added complexity of pregnancy, children, rehab, and how vulnerable women are when they leave prison. SI High Wycombe continues to support Chosen and the Region will make a donation. Richard was very grateful to be able to take such a good pile of pants, socks and toiletries away with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Region Projects &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>during the day Pam Robertson, the Region&#8217;s Programme Action Officer led two sessions where we heard about some great projects and events from St Albans, Thames Valley, High Wycombe, Bedford, Hertford and Milton Keynes Clubs.

Many Soroptimist Clubs and individual Soroptimists do this type of investment and SIGBI can look at the results as a collective showing what a massive difference it can make. Some Clubs invest in Kiva which works in a similar way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiva.org\/\">https:\/\/www.kiva.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SI Milton Keynes<\/strong> &#8211; Sue Key gave a round up of lots of activities &#8211; their &#8220;16 Days of activism to end violence against women&#8221; exhibition last November with artwork displayed in different places; the success of collecting 50p pieces; Orange Cafes; and some exciting developments with the Open University on courses about building healthy relationships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SI St Albans &amp; District <\/strong>&#8211; Helen Byrne talked about the Club&#8217;s Planet Team efforts to raise awareness of what we eat and where it comes from at &#8220;Bring and Share&#8221; supper Club events. Last year people were asked to bring plant-based food to share and watched videos to encourage discussion about the benefits to the planet of reducing people&#8217;s intake of meat. This year the focus is on reducing food miles and buying local where possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/349-Amref-Logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6915\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/349-Amref-Logo-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Amref Logo\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/349-Amref-Logo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/349-Amref-Logo.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/362-Sue-Granshaw-with-Amref-UK-Beverley-and-Helen.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6965\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/362-Sue-Granshaw-with-Amref-UK-Beverley-and-Helen-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sue Granshaw with Amref UK Beverley and Helen\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/362-Sue-Granshaw-with-Amref-UK-Beverley-and-Helen-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/362-Sue-Granshaw-with-Amref-UK-Beverley-and-Helen.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Sue Granshaw from SI High Wycombe is pictured here with our next speakers: Beverley Jewell and Helen Brabant-Bleakley of <a href=\"https:\/\/amref.org\/\">Amref Health Africa<\/a>, <\/strong>Africa\u2019s leading health NGO. Amref believes that health is a human right and the key to a brighter future. Africa has 25% of the global disease burden but only 3% of the global health workforce. Neonatal mortality is 10 times that in the UK. If you want communities to thrive you have to improve the health of the people. Amref is trusted because it is run by African people in Africa &#8211; it is people centred, and they ask what help is needed rather than impose what they think is required. This is something that Soroptimists are very familiar with, particularly with the Kori Development Project in Sierra Leone from SI Thames Valley. Fresh water is key to good health so building wells and bore holes close to schools, communities and health facilities is essential. They spoke about the importance of partnerships like Water Aid. A big issue has been the recent withdrawal of funding from the USA.<\/p>\n<p>In the slides it shows how far donations can go when spent on Amref projects:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a348<\/strong> could vaccinate 8 children against fatal diseases like polio by a trained health worker<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a380<\/strong> could help pay for a frontline health worker for 3 months to deliver essential health services<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a3112<\/strong> could help construct a standpipe in two schools, ensuring children have access to safe water.<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a3200<\/strong> could fund a mobile clinic with high-quality services for 8 families<\/p>\n<p>The Region has made a speaker donation but if anyone wants to make an additional donation they can do it directly to Amref <a href=\"https:\/\/amref.org\/\">https:\/\/amref.org\/<\/a> or by making a payment to the Region.<\/p>\n<p>Their presentation is available to download here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/06\/Amref-UK_Soroptimists.pdf\">Amref UK_Soroptimists<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beverley Jewell<\/strong> first connected with Amref Health Africa in 2014 when she worked in Nairobi for 6 months supporting medical outreach programmes with data collection across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. On returning to the UK she volunteered at the London office and then became a Trustee in 2020. She has been able to visit programmes in Kenya and Tanzania in recent years focussed on, for example water security and health worker training<br \/>\n<strong>Helen<\/strong> <strong>Brabant-Bleakley <\/strong>is the Philanthropy Manager for Amref Health Africa UK working with Amref&#8217;s dedicated major donors and foundations. She was drawn to Amref because of its community-led approach, finding tangible solutions to systemic problems. She&#8217;s been inspired by meeting Amref trained health workers in Africa who are working every day to make health equality a reality for all.<br \/>\nAmref partners with communities in 35 countries to identify their unique health challenges and co-design solutions to close the gap between them and the healthcare that they need. Amref can adapt to changes and address new challenges \u2013 like the climate crisis, the rise in NCDs (non-communicable disease eg diabetes), pandemic preparedness, or the specific health needs of Africa\u2019s young people \u2013 as soon as they arise. Amref grows and strengthens Africa\u2019s health workforce, developing mobile and digital learning solutions that make world-class training available across the continent. Amref\u2019s International University provides health sciences training to the continent\u2019s future health leaders. Amref says \u201cWe are the go-to partner for governments across the continent that are seeking to embed equitable healthcare access into their policies and plans.\u201d<br \/>\nEvery year, Amref supports millions of people across Africa to access the health information and services they need. They design and implement programmes with communities that address their unique health challenges, from clean water to preventable diseases, maternal health to ending Female Genital Mutilation\/Cutting (FGM\/C), training health workers on the social and economic factors that influence a person\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/350-Wycombe-Youth-Action.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6918 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/350-Wycombe-Youth-Action-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/350-Wycombe-Youth-Action-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/london-chilterns\/files\/2026\/04\/350-Wycombe-Youth-Action.jpg 687w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our last guest speaker was <strong>Yasmin Harris, Assistant Manager &amp; Safeguarding Lead at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wycombeyouthaction.co.uk\/\">Wycombe Youth Action<\/a><\/strong> who came to tell us about the charity.
