Our Friendship links
Networking with other clubs
One of the many good things about Soroptimism is the opportunity to develop contacts and friendships with women in Soroptimist clubs all around the world. Clubs are always delighted to welcome fellow Soroptimists from anywhere in the world to their branch meetings, or more informally in a social setting, perhaps for a meal or a drink.
Clubs also forge official Friendship Links with one another to share projects and offer support and friendship.

In 2023 we started funding the vital work Soroptimist International Krakow were doing to help refugees from the Ukraine and are now very privileged to have developed a friendship link – click here to learn more about their work.

We have helped fund workshops for the older refugees which included language, handy work, art and craft workshops and helped purchase a barbeque for the children to have a summer party.
