Soroptimists in Milton Keynes | SI Milton Keynes

May is Members Month – I’m A Soroptimist

Soroptimists are women volunteering to transform the lives of women and girls.

We turn vision into action, support local, national and international groups, we support women and girls in need, we increase access to education and we offer support friendship and fun.

Here is Vanessa, one of our founders and past Chairs telling us why she is a Soroptimist.
