You could be a Soroptimist…..

Members of Soroptimist International Milford Haven are from the town and the surrounding areas including Neyland, Llangwm, Burton, Houghton, St.Ishmael’s, Hakin and Steynton. The club supports charities locally (e.g. Paul Sartori Hospice at Home and Pembrokeshire Women’s Refuge), nationally (e.g. Breast Cancer Now and Age Cymru), and internationally (e.g. Lend with Care and the Morning Star Orphanage in Nepal).

Throughout the year we arrange and challenge speakers on local and national issues, and participate in activities so that we are women inspiring action, transforming lives”.  For details of the club programme, where we meet and when click please on Club Programme of Events on the left of the screen.  We call our voluntary work “Programme Action”.  Programme Action is the reason for being a Soroptimist.  It reflects the Vision and the Mission of Soroptimist International.
