Soroptimist International is a global volunteer movement of women working together to transform the lives of women and girls.\u00a0 Soroptimists inspire action and create opportunities through a global network of members and international partnerships.\u00a0 S.I.Newcastle upon Tyne was the first club to be chartered in Northern England\u00a0 ( see history page).\u00a0 In 2025 we will celebrate our 88th Anniversary.<\/p>\n

Over the years we have supported a variety of charities and causes both locally and internationally.\u00a0 Always our aim is to improve the lives of women and girls.<\/p>\n

Our members are from a range of business and professional backgrounds with a wealth of experience and skills.\u00a0\u00a0 We are proud to have club members who do and who have served at regional, national and international levels of our organisation.\u00a0 All members enjoy the fun and friendship that the club events offer and some are involved in other aspects of Soroptimism.\u00a0 (see Home website page of\u00a0\u00a0 www.sigbi.org.uk<\/a>\u00a0 and www.ukpac.org.uk<\/a>\u00a0 )<\/p>\n
