Soroptimists in Milton Keynes: join the voices of local women having a global impact at the United Nations

Soroptimist International is a global volunteer movement working to transform the lives of women and girls. Our Milton Keynes group is here to take a proactive, practical stance on issues that highlight the particular disadvantages faced by women and girls, locally and internationally.

We are a diverse and friendly group of women who meet monthly to learn about issues affecting local women and girls, to use our skills and contacts to make a difference where we can and have fun! We regularly support the work of our link charities; YMCA, MK Act, Works for Us and British Red Cross by collecting toiletries, nappies and sanitary towels so that they can be distributed to women accessing frontline services. Small things that make a big difference!

Soroptimist International is a leading global women’s voluntary organisation. It has close to 90,000 members in more than 3,000 clubs in over 100 countries around the world. Soroptimist International is recognised by the United Nations as a Non-Governmental organisation representing women from all over the world and has General Consultative status.
